Одна калина [Odna Kalina] [English translation]

It's blue, it's depressing, it's overly sad ...

Don't give me a gloomy look, but play, musician, play!

My soul is cold, it's freezing

You may take everything you want, just leave me:

One viburnum outside window,

One family around table

One path that could lead to home

One love for entire life

One sorrow till falling into oblivion

And Ukraine, because we don't have another country!

It's blue, it's depressing, it's overly sad ...

So why are you crying? Play, musician, play!

A drop can't lessen the sorrow

Cossack, pour glasses, for we still have:

One viburnum outside window,

One family around table

One path that could lead to home

One love for entire life

One sorrow till falling into oblivion

And Ukraine because we don't have another country!

It's so sad that I can't sleep.

I'll better think about my spring.

And I'll go behind the horizons...

For the first time, but as if it's our last time, play, musician, play!

About that viburnum outside the window,

One family around the table

One path that could lead to the home

One love for entire life

One sorrow till falling into oblivion

And Ukraine, because we don't have another country!
