Snova v put’-dorogu nebo zovet,
Serdtse v grudi skripkoj poyot.
I gulyayut po bul’varam stolits
Pesni moej lyubvi bez granits.
London, Oslo, Berlin, Moskva,
Ya poyu i zhivu dlya vas.
Chorus:
Nebesa Evropy plachut dozhdem,
Znachit esche ty menya zhdesh’.
Daleko-dalyoko noch’yu i dnem
Serdtse moe v nebe tvoem.
Goroda i strany, slovno v kino,
Ya v ryukzake noshu za spinoj.
Stala muzyka sud’boyu moej,
Serdtse letit sledom za nej.
Varshava, Kiev i Amsterdam,
Ya daryu svoe serdtse vam.
Chorus:

Znachit esche ty menya zhdesh’.
Daleko-dalyoko noch’yu i dnem
Serdtse moe v nebe tvoem.
