anyone lived in a pretty how town
(with up so floating many bells down)
spring summer autumn winter     
he sang his didn't he danced his did.

Women and men (both little and small)
cared for anyone not at all
they sowed their isn't they reaped their same
sun moon stars rain

children guessed (but only a few
and down they forgot as up they grew
autumn winter spring summer)
that noone loved him more by more

when by now and tree by leaf
she laughed his joy she cried his grief
bird by snow and stir by still 
anyone's any was all to her

someones married their everyones
laughed their cryings and did their dance
(sleep wake hope and then) they 
said their nevers they slept their dream

stars rain sun moon
(and only the snow can begin to explain
how children are apt to forget to remember
with up so floating many bells down)

one day anyone died i guess
(and noone stooped to kiss his face)
busy folk buried them side by side
little by little and was by was

all by all and deep by deep
and more by more they dream their sleep
noone and anyone earth by april
wish by spirit and if by yes.

Women and men (both dong and ding)
summer autumn winter spring
reaped their sowing and went their came
sun moon stars rain

койкто жил в одногороде очень неком
работал в нескладе рожден человеком
солнце облако дождь радио небо
он пел свои бы и плясал свои не бы

любые переженились на любых
всякие шлялись потом вышли в люди
колеса ботинки провод верба
ниоднане влюбилась в него беззаветно

койкто мечтал о просторах небраски
читал не по складам про нерпы несчастье
миссисипи ганг обводный терек
ниоднане говорила обойдемся без денег

прочие звали разных на кофе либо чай
ехал ли автобус или директор кричал
птицы воздух лужи автомобили
а ниоднане любила ниоднане любила

койкто вышел неодетый во мгле
захворал сгорел похоронен в земле
бабочки крылья паруса кили
ниоднане рыдала на его черной могиле
