Rough translation



:Green sea is playing

:Quiet day is fading away

:So dear have become for me

:the sloping banks of Dnieper

:Where branches are swaying

:of amorous dreams...

:How can one not not love you,

:Kyiv, my dear!

:Into eyes Cannas are gazing

:My heart I will pour into them

:Let them tell to my beloved one

:How I faithfully love

:I will dream and live now

:On wings of my hopes...

:How can one not not love you,

:Kyiv, my dear!

:Falling my weary city

:in peaceful and gentle sleep

:There lights as a necklace

:Have bloomed over Dnieper

:Velvet of late afternoons

:Is as euphoria surf

:How can one not not love you,

:Kyiv, my dear!
