| In the distant constellation Tau Ceti
 | 
| Everything became incomprehensible to us,
 | 
| We send a signal: “What are you doing there?”
 | 
| And they send us back.
 | 
| On Tau Whale
 | 
| Living in beauty
 | 
| They live, by the way, in different ways -
 | 
| Our comrades in mind.
 | 
| Here, moving along the light beam
 | 
| Without help, but with mediation,
 | 
| I'm flying to this Tau Kita,
 | 
| To deal with her on the spot.
 | 
| On Tau Whale
 | 
| Something is wrong -
 | 
| There is a tau-Chinese brethren
 | 
| She went crazy, according to our concepts.
 | 
| While I'm in suspended animation,
 | 
| Those Taukitians are rowdy, -
 | 
| Less and less often I get in touch with them:
 | 
| They are very hooligans.
 | 
| The taukit
 | 
| In the alphabet of words -
 | 
| A little, and the system is bourgeois,
 | 
| And their humor is ugly.
 | 
| I landed the ship like my own ass,
 | 
| Slightly bending the reflector.
 | 
| I shouted in Taukitian: "Vivat!"  | 
| —
 | 
| What does it mean to us - "Hello!".
 | 
| The Taukites
 | 
| All appearance is a lie,
 | 
| You can't compete with them here:
 | 
| They will appear, then they will dissolve ...
 | 
| I am a Taukitian - how do you like a Papuan -
 | 
| I was briefly hinted at.
 | 
| I shouted: "The galaxy is ashamed of you!"  | 
| —
 | 
| In response, they blinked at something.
 | 
| On Tau Whale
 | 
| The conditions are not the same:
 | 
| There is no atmosphere, it's stuffy here, -
 | 
| But the Taukites are welcome.
 | 
| In the heat of the moment, I shouted to them: your mother, they say! ..
 | 
| But my cybernetic guide
 | 
| Translated me so literally
 | 
| What made me ashamed of myself.
 | 
| But taukit -
 | 
| Such cattle are
 | 
| Probably managed to get:
 | 
| They will appear, then they will dissolve ...
 | 
| “You, brothers in sex,” I shout, “muzhiks!
 | 
| Well ... "- here my voice broke, -
 | 
| I grabbed the Taukitian woman by the breasts:
 | 
| "Well," I say, "admit it!.."
 | 
| She told me: "Go away!"  | 
| —
 | 
| Like, we are ahead -
 | 
| We do not want to know men, -
 | 
| And now let's bud!
 | 
| I don't remember how I raised my starship, -
 | 
| I'm flying in a drinking mood:
 | 
| After all, the Earth has gone three hundred years ahead,
 | 
| According to Einstein's vile theory!
 | 
| What if and there
 | 
| Like on Tau Whale,
 | 
| Knowledge has grown terribly,
 | 
| What if there is budding too?! |
