Christmas tale by Lidiya Chuplyak



I went out home so early in the morning,
I didn't hurry and stopped for a minute,
I wish you were my eyes in that moment
Because my words are poor to discribe this wonder.

It was an amazing dark white morning...
Yes, yes the morning was snow-white,
And I was staying without moving,
My essence left my body for a while.

I threw up my eyes on luminous streetlamps,
And everything reminded me of Viennese waltzes...
With music by Strauss, Lanner and Chopin.
Ohh, there was the snowy round dance.

The graceful snowflakes like the ladies in gorgeous ball dresses,
Who were dancing with their gentlemen in white tuxedoes,
They were poussette in loving waltz...
I saw it because I believe in wonders.
Everything around was really as a tale,
It's wonderful because Christmas is today...

Вже не одну стежину я стоптала... (I have already trampled not a single path...) by Lidiya Chuplyak

Вже не одну стоптала я стежину
І не один світанок я зустріла,
Десь глибоко в душі тримаю я пташину,
Я відпущу її одного дня.

Сьогодні сонечко надворі,
А небо чисте, ясне, голубе.
Я прихилюсь душею й думками до тебе,
А ти відчуєш все, що там лежить.

Не мушу я казати чи пояснювати щось,
Ти й мовчазну мене відчуєш,
Піду своєю я дорогою в житті,
Торкаючись ледь-ледь тебе.

Ніхто не знає, що чекає нас,
А мрії наші зараз лиш міраж,
Бережи себе, мій ангеле,
Під крилами твоїми ніжністю засну.



I have already trampled not a single path
And I have already met not one dawn,
I keep the bird somewhere deeply in my soul
And I will let it go some day.

It is sunny today
And the sky is rather clear, bright and blue,
I will lean to you by my soul and thoughts
And you will feel everything what is there.

I don't have to say or explain anything,
You feel me in any way,
I will go on my way in life,
Touching you a little.

No one knows what will be with us,
And our dreams are now like a mirage,
Take care of yourself , my angel,
I will sleep tenderly under your wings.
