У Черного моря [U CHyornogo morya] [English translation]

There is a city I see in my dream

Oh, if you just knew how it's dear me!

Near the Black Sea, it's opened to me,

The city is in blooming acacias!

The city is in blooming acacias

Near the Black Sea ...

There is a sea in which I swam and sank

And I was pulled ashore to my fortune.

There is the air that I breathed in childhood,

And I couldn't breathe till the thrill!

And I couldn't breathe till the thrill

Near the Black Sea ...

I'll never forget the boulevard and the beacon,

The flashing lights of the steamboats

That bench where , my dear,

We exchanged glances the first time!

We exchanged glances the first time!

Near the Black Sea ...

My native land where my young friend

He laid there, burned on by the fight

No wonder he got a golden wreath,

And my city is named the Hero!

And my city is named the Hero,

Near the Black Sea ...

And life remains beautiful always

Whether you are get old or young.

But every Spring it pulls me so

To my sunny, joyful city!

To Odessa - my sunny city

Near the Black Sea ... ...

Near the Black Sea ...
