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 ...
