Говорили і курили [Hovoryly i kuryly] [English translation]

We met in a subway car,

Too many people were packed there, like herrings in a barrel.

They pushed me to you, and I could not even turn away,

And we were trapped in an erotic pose.

Intelligent man, Ukrainian engineer,

I almost died from three-stops hormonal burst.

Doors hissed, there is a station "Khreshchatyk"1 -

And people started falling from a subway car like potatoes.

With entwined bodies, we are riding upstairs from underground,

And we feel like we can't just leave like this, no.

So I am flying like a butterfly, running into the hendelyk2,

And ordering two coffees for us, to shake the imagination.

Refrain:

We sat like this all day, talked and smoked,

We smelled like smoke and love, talked and smoked.

Then people came, and sat down next to us,

We moved a little bit, talked and smoked.

And we ate pastries and drank tomato juice,

And with red moustaches we talked and smoked.

Then we were quiet for a little bit, had a small break,

Then we started smoking and talking again.

When I was sipping the boullion from bag in the evening,

I remembered I did not ask a phone number from you.

Several uptown districts, Dnipro river in the middle,

Kyiv is a small town3, we will meet in a subway.

And in the morning I dive into underground tunnels again,

And I am being carried to you by this loud crowd,

And I see the same jeans and backpack,

And I am so happy so I make the fist in the pocket.

Fifty more people are running into the subway car,

And I got smeared on you, like butter on the loaf,

And at heart I wait for the stop "Khreshchatyk",

To get out upstairs and even not change a pose.

Refrain 2x

1. the main street of Kyiv, Ukraine2. (ukr.slang) - small bar with alcohol and snacks, often just a tent or trailer3. not really; this is a kind of irony
