Ryms'ki kanikuly, nyznya Yevropa
I ryms'ki doshchi... kudy ty vtechesh?
V serci tvoyim – nud'ha i dobrobut
I shelesty mertvych elektromerez.

Spohady zovti vodoyu rozmyti...
Ryms'ki kanikuly, svit, i ty odyn na sviti.

Ryms'ki kanikuly, misto tebe kovtaye,
Ryms'ki doshchi i shtaleva trava,
Ty bahato zabuv, ty c'oho ne zhadayesh,
Vse bilshe i bilshe tvoya holova.

Chtos' dychaye v spynu i kaze: "mershchiy!"
Ryms'ki kanikuly, ryms'ki doshchi.

Ryms'ki kanikuly, shcho tobi zychat'
Ryms'ki doshchi? Yevrobrud, yevroson,
Neonovyi poroch vkryvaye oblychchya,
A tilo povoli vkryvaye beton...

I shcho ty zalyshysh u sebe v dushi?
Ryms'ki kanikuly, ryms'ki doshchi.
