Тихие игры [Tyhie igry] [English translation]

Luminous boys with feathers on their heads

Again came down, again came back from the sky

Their astonished in the morning blind eyes

Ask for forgiveness, as is asked in the streets for bread

Slowly, like fearful, strange beasts

not yet overcoming from tireness of sleep

They seek by touch the pots and open doors

Tangling in night shirts like in fathers caresses

Silent games nearby sleeping people

Every morning when in the house sleep even mouses

The boys know that you need to do all quickly

And the boys do all as possible quieter

Listening to whisper and creak in silence of distant rooms

They re afraid and want to cry, but cry bitterly

They want so offensively much to leave the house

That they're sneaked by unknown little shame

As long as the big ones sleep in their unrested beds

As long they ve not caught the childern in white underwear

Their lovely childern are jauntly finding ploys

And the music won't wake them lying in sleep

Silent games nearby sleeping people

Every morning when in the house sleep even mouses

The boys know that you need to do all quickly

And the boys do all as possible quieter
