Pam’yatayesh, kolys' my blukaly pid doshchem,
My buly taki chuzi...
A zaraz moyi dumky ty bachysh naskriz',
A ya postiyno kazu tobi –
Bude tak, tilky tak, tilky tak, yak schochu, –
Zakryyesh na vse ochi i zrobysh tak, yak schochu.
Bachysh, v nas vse harazd –
Nemaye zayvych tiney i na stoli Martini,
Ya tobi shepochu:

Ya – same ta, ta, shcho v snach tak davno z toboyu,
U moyich ochach synye-synye more, synye more.

Pam’yatayesh, kolys' my shukaly vidpovidi
...ta ne znayshly,
A zaraz, v pryncypi, vse ne tak vze y vazlyvo,
Yak nam kolys' zdavalos', vse odno
Bude tak, tilky tak, tilky tak, yak schochu, –
Zakryyesh na vse ochi i zrobysh tak, yak schochu.
Bachysh, v nas vse harazd –
Nemaye zayvych tiney i na stoli Martini,
Ya tobi shepochu:

Ya – same ta, ta, shcho v snach tak davno z toboyu,
U moyich ochach synye-synye more, synye more.
Ya, tilky ya v tvoyich snach tak davno z toboyu,
U moyich ochach synye-synye more, torknys' rukoyu.
