Ой у гаю, при Дунаю
Соловей щебече.
Він же свою всю пташину
До гніздечка кличе.
Ох-тьох-тьох і тьох-тьох-тьох
Соловей щебече.
Він свою всю пташину
До гніздечка кличе.
Ой у гаю, при Дунаю
Там музика грає.
Бас гуде, скрипка плаче,
Милий мій гуляє.
Ох-тьох-тьох і тьох-тьох-тьох
Там музика грає.
Бас гуде, скрипка плаче,
Милий мий гуляє.
Ой у гаю, при Дунаю
Стою самотою.
Плачу, тужу, ще й ридаю
Милий за тобою.
Ох-тьох-тьох і тьох-тьох-тьох
Соловей щебече.
Він свою всю пташину
До гніздечка кличе.
Oh, in the grove by the Danube
The nightingale is chirping.
He is calling
All his birds to the nest.
Oh-chirp-chirp and chirp-chirp-chirp
The nightingale is chirping.
He is calling
All his birds to the nest.
Oh, in the grove, by the Danube
There is music playing.
The bass is humming, the violin weeps,
My darling is walking.
Oh-chirp-chirp and chirp-chirp-chirp
There is music playing.
The bass is humming, the violin weeps,
Cute Miy* is walking.
Oh, in the grove, by the Danube
I stand alone.
I cry long and sob
Darling for you.
Oh-chirp-chirp and chirp-chirp-chirp
The nightingale is chirping.
He is calling
All his birds to the nest.
