Taip, kaip turi būti/ As it should be
Saldumas vakarų šitų,
Kai šitaip sėdim – aš ir tu,
Šalia kvėpuoja mūs vaikai,
Ir, rodos, tarsi pamatai
Paveikslą būsimo rudens
Pro rūką ežero vandens...
Praėjo metų visas pulkas,
Ir krykštauja anūkų tuntas,
O mudu dviese tebesėdim –
Į plaukus išmintis nusėdus
Ramina, guodžia, kad brangi
Minutė buvo praeity,
Kad duotą žodį ištesėjom,
Sulaukėm – vaikas supa lėlę,
Tik ilgu vakarų anų,
Tik gaila vasaros dienų...

As it should be
Sweetness of these warm nights
When that's how we sit, you and I;
Beside us 're breathing our kids,
And it seems like is ready
A new picture - the coming autumn
You can see by fog lake water ...
Years of years are gone
And the grandkids play next to us;
And we two are still there -
The wisdom on our hair
Is encouraging that valuable days
Were generously past.
The given word that promised
We got - the child surrounds the doll,
Just sorry for these long warm afternoons,
Just sorry for the summer days ...
