De b ne skytavsya ya po sviti,
Zavzdy u sni plekayu myti,
Koly pobachu vypadkovo
Svoyu domivku ta y navkolo,
Pobachu misto honorove,
Ty ne znaydesh ishche takoho,
Bo to ne misto to perlyna –
To ye pivdenna Ukrayina!

Pryspiv:
Mamo, mamo, mamo,
Odesa – mamo!

Shcho b ne kazaly, moye misto
Vplitayet'sya nemov v namysto
V istoriyu moyiy derzavy,
Nazal ne vsi yiyi vyvchaly.
Vprodovz storich fortechni mury
Oberihaly vid potury
Cey port, ce misto, ci prostory,
Yaki plekaye Chorne More!
