Poem by Lina Kostenko Poetry is best to be read in original, but Ukrainian language is rather rare and I would like to share with you the poem of my favorite Ukrainian poetress Lina Kostenko Original comes first, for those who can appreciate it Не знаю, чи побачу Вас, чи ні. А може, власне, і не в тому справа А головне, що десь вдалечині Є хтось такий, як невтоленна спрага. Я не покличу щастя не моє, Луна луни туди не долітає. Я думаю про Вас. Я знаю, що Ви є. Моя душа й від цього вже світає. Not sure if I ever meet you And this is not the point What really matters - You Somewhere, far away The one I am so thirst for I won't call for happiness Which is not mine My charms can't fly that far I'm thinking about you I know that you exist It pleases me And fills my soul with blossoms
