Proshchay, proshchay, o Rio-de Zaneyro,
Moyich ochey nebachena zvizdar,
U chornim nebi ty yaskrava zirka,
Ty moye shchastya i moya bida.
Ty spalachnula, lula, lula, znenac'ka, raptom
I osiyala dushu meni
I ya choti by staty kosmonavtom
I doletit' do tebe choch by uvi sni.

Proshchay, proshchay, o syzaya holubko,
Ce ya tviy holub z zlamanym krylom.
Zyma lyutuye, zamitaye zemlyu
Staye u serci lodyanym stovpom.
Meni vse pofih, ya chochu spaty
I chay nasnyt'sya meni spravznye i zyve
Ya na ostanok budu krychaty,
Mo potim kryk cey chto pisneyu nazve.
