Не знаю, чи побачу Вас, чи ні.

А може, власне, і не в тому справа.

А головне, що десь вдалечині

Є хтось такий, як невтоленна спрага.

Я не покличу щастя не моє.

I don't know if I ever get to see you.

And maybe it's not only about this.

The main thing is to know that someone hears me

From far away, like thirst, like sudden bliss.


I can't imagine being happy with you,

My way of knowing you is echo while

I think of you. I see the light within you

My soul is calm and warm in this exile.
