"I'm young in my heart," -
   my granny used to say.

I'm looking in the mirror...
  I can't see the beautiful girl anymore...

(Men who were in love!
   Shut your eyes
and don't read these lines.)

Am I young in my heart?

I have become more prudent -
  and that is age
and negative experience.

I've lost my unconditional faith
   in people...
and love only my family...

The beauty of the Earth?
  Of course.

But without my dear and near
   life wouldn't be worth...

                  *            *            *


Что держит меня в этом мире?
  Только близкие люди...

А красота Земли?
  Тоже, да.
Но если - не дай тебе Боже, не дай тебе Боже! -
  тогда...
не спасет красота.

Без сожаления
  уйду я в Невидимый Мир навсегда....
