---|---|---|
Очи чёрные, очи жгучие, Очи чёрные, очи пламенны Очи чёрные, очи жгучие, Не встречал бы вас, не страдал бы так, Очи чёрные, очи жгучие, |
Ochi chyornye, ochi zhguchie Ochi chyornye, ochi plamenny Ochi chyornye, ochi zhguchie Ne vstrechal by vas, ne stradal by tak Ochi chyornye, ochi zhguchie |
Dark eyes, burning eyes Dark eyes, flaming eyes Dark eyes, burning eyes Without meeting you, I wouldn't be suffering so Dark eyes, burning eyes |
