бәлки, син үзең әллә ни
чибәр дә түгелсеңдер?
йә, бер кара инде, кара,
күңелемне үсендер.
юкса, мин бит пыскып торган
хисләремне сүндерәм:
яратыр да идем, бәлки,
танышу ирендерә.

4.Fourth Day
it looks like i will not be able to love you
i’ll just keep being “fallen in love”
the air is so tight here
the glass of the window is too thick
i can’t see if you are in a good mood
or maybe a bit sad
again the autumn rain has
hidden you from me
has put the umbrella in your hand
made your pace faster.
does the rain’s mist touch your hair?
can you feel the autumn wind?
are you really sad at times like this?
or do you just pretend to be brushed by the bird of melancholy?
maybe you are not really that handsome at all
please look at me, make me hopeful
if not, perhaps the barely glowing embers of my feeling will go out
i would love to love you but maybe
i am too lazy to introduce myself

День 4.
наверное, не смогу полюбить,
давай я сохраню лишь влюбленность,
здесь воздух такой густой,
и окна такие плотные –
что и не видно: смешлив ли ты,
или в грусти светлой.
вот снова дождь осенний
будто специально пряча тебя от меня
вручил тебе в руки зонт,
подгоняет шаги,
впитывают ли в волосы твои
запах ветра, влагу дождя?
бьется ли в груди твоей
птица светлой грусти,
или ты только стараешься казаться
таким поэтичным?
может ты на самом деле
не так уж и красив,
ну взгляни разок,
заставь действовать.
а то я тут гашу остатки,
уже тлеющего чувства:
полюбить-то это можно,
но знакомиться вот лень.
