«Ти знаєш, що ти людина?» - Василь Симоненко (You Know That You Are Human - Vasyl Symonenko)

Translated by me Love Ukrainian poetry 🫶🏽 Vasyl Symonenko — You Know That You Are Human Do you know that you are human? Do you know it — truly? Your smile is one of a kind, Your sorrow is one of a kind, Your eyes — no one else’s but yours. There will never be another you. Tomorrow, upon this earth, Others will walk its roads, Others will fall in love — Tender, kind… and cruel. But today the world is yours — The lakes, the groves, the open steppes, All breathing for you alone. So hurry to live, Hurry to love — Take care not to sleep through your life. For you are human on this earth, Whether you wish it or not. Your smile is one of a kind, Your sorrow is one of a kind, Your eyes — the only ones in the world. Music credits: «Divine» by Aron van Selm
