Падение Алисы [Padenie Alisy'] [English translation]

Will the flying cat catch up -

In the air with the flying mouse or not,

The flying dog - the flying cat?

Why do I torment myself with such nonsense?!

But earlier I thought, standing above the precipice:

Oh, how could I show myself as a flying cloud,

Now I have become a flying cloud.

Here now I decide about the event:

Will the flying cat catch up

In the air with the flying mouse or not? ..
