Yulia kupych - enjoy your meal smachnogo ua-en

Смачного

Ти дихаєш, тихенько сопучи,
Так по-дитячому і солодко.
Журнал, мобілка і ключі
Єднають нас, мов нитку з голкою.
Сьогодні їдеш, йдеш, авжеж,
Тебе дратують голосіння,
Тобі чуття – то просто кеш,
Я ж за тобою йтиму тінню.
Я йтиму. Знов за полюси
І за екватори по глобусу.
Любов не з’їсть, то ти з’їси
Душі моєї мертві топоси.

You breathe, your breath so soft and light,
It is so childish and so sweet.
Your diary, your phone and keys
Unite your moving thread with me.
Today you go, you leave for good,
You're tired of my piercing screams,
You're used to banking on my whims,
I'll follow you - a shadow dim.
A shadow dull yet sensitive
That moves beyond all zones and poles,
On its equator destiny
Like cold and torrid waters, yet
If love has not yet ravaged me,
You’ll eat my fallen topoi.
