When you collapse through the earth out of shame Or curse: "May I fall through space!" Without all kinds of difficulties you land hither, And we meet lawfully in all honesty. We are the antipodes, we live here! With us here are antiordinates. We stand firmly on our own heels, - Who is not on the heels, are the antiheels!         But for some reason they fly in hastily, On the heads stand the scatterbrains and bunglers, And even try to be able to walk on their heads Antichildren, antimums, antipapas .. We are the antipodes, we live here! With us here are antiordinates. We stand firmly on our own heels, And who is not with us, are the antiheels!
