What is your name?

Кристина Гранта
Seems to me, I've misheard or mistaken,
When you asked me: "Miss, what is your name?"
So mysterious, all of a sudden
And so hopeful began our game...

But it's true - I've just gotten a question,
You're waiting so patiently for;
Wow, it's me, whom you've honoured to mention,
Smiling kindly... a minute ago!..

I have answered you briefly and mildly,
Thinking, God really gives me a chance
And my heart has begun to jump wildly,
And my body just wanted to dance!

"Sign up, please! You have gotten a parcel",-
In a businesslike manner you said
And my prince from a wonderful castle
Has escaped to the Post-office land...
