Na machtach solenich beleet telnyashka –
Prychodyt yz reysa moryak molodoy.
Speshyt na svydane eho odnoklashka –
V mechtach, slovno chayka, letyt nad volnoy.
Ulibkoy zadornoy, Odessa rodnaya,
Ti v hosty zovesh' – tebe, kak otkazat'?
Est' y u delfynov mechta zolotaya –
Ne protyv ony tebya "mamoyu" zvat'.

Pryspiv:
Ach, Odessa! Och, Odessa –
More Chernoe volnuesh' vnov'.
Ti volshebnyca, Odessa –
Vsem druz'yam darysh' lyubov'!

Akacyey beloy cvetesh' dorohaya,
Syyaesh', kak solnce, zemchuznoy zvezdoy.
Lyubuetsya Mat', Ukrayna rodnaya,
Morskoy nezabvennoy tvoey krasotoy.
Na solnce horyachem syneet telnyashka –
Ydet opyat' v reys kapytan molodoy.
Mashut s prychala odnoklashka Natasha
Y sin, ves' v neho, no eshche cholostoy!
