   You are princess from other kingdoms   
   He's your knight, ready for all...   
   How much in you is childish, dear,   
   How I fathom the joy in your soul!   
      
   In the light grove of birches, where   
   Shines blue water among the leaves,   
   It is good to exchange the answers,   
   It is good to be a princess, yes.   
      
   On quiet evening, melting slowly,   
   Where there's pines, swamps and moss   
   It is good over dying bonfire   
   To talk about the sunset verse   
      
   To return on the road perilous   
   With eternal companion - moon,   
   To be a strict and sly princess   
   Moonlit night, road through the woods.   
      
   Go take pleasure in autumn ringing,   
   Dear knight, like a page in love,   
   And then the princess, green-eyed,   
   This world is yours even if brief!   
      
   Don't be ashamed of the soft words!   
   Know: Youth and the wind are one!   
   You assembled and parted proud,   
   Even if we see the cup's bottom.   
      
   It is good to be beautiful, fast   
   And, with bonfires teasing the dark,   
   To admire the mindless sparks,   
   And like sparks to burn up in flight!
