1.
It so suddenly
became silent here
 All at once
 everyone
 has disappeared
    All at once
    all has changed
    empty streets, empty lanes. 
  Nobody's around                    
  Snow is falling down 
    from the skies
    from above
    All the world full of snow...
    and love.

2.
And I looked around
feeling like a cloud
 Like a cloud passing by
 above the ground
     I could feel breeze of air
     So fresh, so clear
   I saw from above
   Only land of love
     Is dream, 
     paradise?
     Or it's what I could see
     with my open heart 
     and eyes.

[light snowy piano]
             ... snow and love.

(Ukrainian version by Oleg Gorodnichy)

Різдвяна

Тиха нічь стоїть
Все довколо спить
 За вікном білий сніг 
 наче пух летить

   Срібный місяць в горі
   І зима на дворі
   Тиш и спокій скрізь
   Стоять в цій порі

Лиш ялинки стоять
Лише зорі не сплять
Тремтять

<* I just stepped outside of my residence and what a great feeling I had ! - Yesterday all campus was all packed with rushing back and forth students (on the last day of the term), and today (first day of Christmas break) such a silence, not a soul around, and just snowflakes falling from the sky.
The entire song was composed in half a hour, as I was gettng back to my residence to record this newly arrived feeling on tape, not to forget it *>
