      Să aluneci pe poleiul de pe ulițele ninse,
      Să privești prin lucii geamuri la luminile aprinse
      Și s-o vezi înconjurată de un roi de pierde-vară,
      Cum zâmbește tuturora cu gândirea ei ușoară?
      To slip on the black ice on the snow-covered streets,
      To look at the burning lights through shiny windows
      And see her, circled by a crowd of good-for-nothings,
      smiling to all with her easy thoughts?
