NB: This is my English translation/variation of a poem by Ukrainian classic poet Mychayl' Semenko (1922), which I have put on post-grunge/alt.rock riffs and rythm. It's a part of my upcoming music album.

Do you know, that I can't sleep?
D you know - I don't sleep all night?
My brain is a symbolic machine gun -
An ode to the king I have to write.
I have to write...


As a city subsides with a fading sleep -
I appeal to you, all unnamed and unknown,
As outside my window the last train dings -
It's a sign that appointed time has come.
As a city subsides with a fading sleep,
I appeal to you  - all unnamed and unknown,
As outside my window the last train dings -
It's a sign that appointed time has come.


As a shadows' strong silhouettes will swayed -
Of a sparks and spots a revolt will rage:
I've gave them enough space within my head,
But the instant is all that left for me.
As a shadows' strong silhouettes will swayed -
Of a sparks and spots a revolt will rage:
I've gave them enough space within my head,
But the instant is all that left for me.


Do you understand - I don't wanna be there!
D you know, I 've rejected the king!
All by myself - I've reject the king!
Just feel - all the nights now I don't sleep.
No I don't sleep!


As a city subsides with a fading sleep,
I appeal to you  - all unnamed and unknown,
As outside my window the last train dings -
It's a sign that appointed time has come.

As a shadows' strong silhouettes will swayed -
Of a sparks and spots a revolt will rage:
I've gave them enough space within my head,
But the instant is all that left for me.
