A whirlwind plays with the snow
Са снегам завiруха грае
напрыканцы сыхода года,
Амаль апоўначы сцiхае,
ў Новы Год каб была згода...
I зорачкi яскрава ззялi
ў хуткiм надыходзе свята,
каб людзi цуда атрымалi - 
наступны год жылi багата!
Вiтаннем ветлiвым вiтае,
апаўшая ў ночы знiчка - 
з Хрыстовым Нараджэннем мае
свет белы вiншаваць па звычке.
Святлом iмгненне апраная,
яна нясе з сабою звестку,
Як душы i сэрца кранае
любоў у кожным зараз зместку.
