Istambul

Lukavi zirky na Bosfori, yak ochi divchat u haremi.
Kovtayuchy slozy prozori, ne splyat Fatima i Zarema.
Vony u solodkim tumani chekaly svoho Suleimana,
Ale polonyla Sultana slov’yanska dochka Roksolana.

Pryspiv:
Istambul, Istambul, Istambul – chaika v nebi i pryboyu vichnyi hul.
Istambul, Istambul, Istambul – shcho za prystrasti, nu prosto karaul!
Istambul, Istambul, Istambul – ty krasun svoyih navishcho pidmanuv?
Istambul, Istambul, Istambul – u slov’yanky huby, yak rahat-lukum.

I nyni yaskravo palayut Bosforu zirky kryshtalevi,
i znovu nochamy rydayut sumni Fatima i Zarema.
Nu shcho yim robyt bidolashnym, yak shchastya Allah ne bazaye...
Rusyavi Natalky-Natashky v Stambuli muzchyn spokushayut.
