Звёздный каталог [English translation]

'Til now it has been unclear to me -

Why do I need a star-catalogue?

In the catalogue there are

Ten million cosmic telephone numbers

Ten million telephone numbers

Of nebulas and worlds

A full code of glowings and twinklings

A list of the universe's subscribers.

I know the name of a star,

I will find its number

I will wait til my earth time is over,

I will turn the steel abecedary:

А-13-40-25

I don't know where to look for you.

The membrane of the phone will start singing:

Alpha Orionis answers

"I'm on the road, I am a star now,

I had forgotten about you for good,

I am a star - the morning star's sister,

I don't want you dreaming about me,

I don't care about you anymore.

Phone me in three hundred years."
