At the strings, we are one, which is for the glory of Vsesvita bryazka.

At night, de day, do not bang not zgi,

Ty marveled in the eyes of the noble Afini,
Ti bully on the shoulders of all chakluns,
Thou shalt cut through the low valleys with krill,
Navivayuchi bachennya movnykh sniv
On the vedovskiye stems of the opyvnichnyh kvitiv,
From those who have taken them, the darkness
Our dreams are seen by your sign, -
I know, if it is somewhere in the depths, far away,
The light is fading away for days,
Ale in the new nights of the primordial, in the waning temryavi and vogniv,
Before creativity, we have to do something new, cry Chaos, bezmirne zhovte eye.
