I like you wildly,
You're sweet and tidy,
Your generosity and elegance turn me mad,
'Couse I feel attraction - and me,
I'm a common lad.

My soul is warming, when I see your shining face,
It shines as you might think a lot about space,
And you're kind and don't keep money in your head,
That's why I like you wildly, tidy lad.

So the first part is spoken by a boy and the second by a girl?

I see that " tidy" is slang here. Hmm okay... But is there anywhere that anyone who doesn't "keep money in their head" can be found?

No. The hole rhyme is spoken by a boy. It's just a look as such.
Tidy means опрятный. It is not slang.
"Keep money in the head" is a метафора, a poetical expression. Just so.

Ooh! Sometimes English is hard to understand :)

If seriously, I did get your metaphor. My question in other words is like:
Are there any people nowadays (especially young ones) who don't think about having money? Big money. That's what everyone young longs for. Isn't it so?
(dear Kate, if it's hard for you to answer in English, you may answer in Russian, I understand it pretty well)

I understand. But it is not difficult for me as well as for you.
Sometimes I don't remember the exact spelling of the word. I was not going to be perfect while answering you. Fortunately, we're not at the exam.
Money is still not an idea-fix for some people nowadays, as well as in the past.

Of course, Kate you're taking no examination on here and I am nothing like your professor. It's just a site where you posted your verses. I am someone who read them and then asked you a question. It's normal.

You're saying that there are some young people who still believe money is not everything in life. This is the answer I wanted to my question.

I guess your parents are good and Russian and they taught you the right things. That's how it was meant to be.

Do keep learning English. Russians must know more than one language to be invincible. Heaven bless you.

Thank you ever so much for your "Heaven bless you" 😇
As for money, I believed, that spiritual people need not much money for living and shouldn't concentrate on this matter. It's not the main thing. And more than this, I thought money spoil people. Now I have another opinion. And I'm going to be rich ☺🌹🌸

I can't even tell if it's not too late for a new beggining... You're young which means you know things better than older people do. I hope you succeed.

All you can see these days is the world going through a tough time. No one gives any guarantees, nothing is certain. The tsar is going mad in his bunker. Soldiers killing each other on the battlefield, missiles flying, civilians dying.

Does it scare you, Catherine?

All wars are always awful.
