Under caresses of an ivy 
Plaid I recalled yesterday's dream. 
Whose victory? Who's been defeated? 
What has it been?  

Rethinking everything once more, 
Torturing myself once again. 
In this, for which no word I know, 
Love it has been, love it has been.  

Who was the hunter? Who - the hunted? 
All is reversed as if by Satan! 
What did the loudly purring 
Siberian Cat, understand?  

In this self-willing one another 
Who in whose hand was but a ball? 
Whose heart flew - yours or mine, 
Do you recall?  

And still again - what has it been too? 
What do I want, what do I pity? 
And I don't know: Did I win? 
Or did you Conquer me?
