Гуляла бѣлая овца
блуждала бѣлая овца
кричала въ полѣ надъ рѣкой
звала ягнятъ и мелкихъ птицъ
махала бѣлою рукой
передо мной лежала ницъ
звала меня ступать въ траву
а тамъ въ травѣ маша рукой
гуляла бѣлая овца
блуждала бѣлая овца.
Ты знаешь бѣлая овца
ты вѣришь бѣлая овца
стоитъ въ коронахъ у плиты
совсѣмъ такая же какъ ты.
Какъ будто я съ тобой дружу
короны свѣтлыя держу
надъ нами ты а сверху я
а выше домъ на трехъ столбахъ
а дальше бѣлая овца
гуляетъ бѣлая овца.
Гуляетъ бѣлая овца
за нею ходитъ козерогъ
съ большимъ лицомъ въ кругу святыхъ
въ лохматой сумкѣ какъ земля
стоитъ на пастбище какъ домъ
внизу земля, а сверху громъ
а сбоку мы, кругомъ земля
надъ нами Богъ въ кругу святыхъ
а выше бѣлая овца
гуляетъ бѣлая овца.

A walking sheep
the sheep wandered
screamed in the air
she called lambs and small birds
waved a good hand
lay before me
called me to step into the grass
and there in the grass with the hand
walked a sheep
a sheep wandered.
You know the sheep
you turn a white sheep
stands in the corona at the plate
sovsem same as you.
As if I'm friends with you
I keep the crowns
above us you and I on top
and above the house on the three pillars
and then the white sheep
walking is a sheep.
A sheep is walking.
she is followed by a capricorn
with a large face in the circle of the saints
in shaggy bags
standing in the pasture as a house
below the earth, and above the thunder
but we are on the side, the earth is round
above us is God in the circle of saints
and above the white sheep
walking is a sheep.
