Леді [Ledi] [English translation]

You came here when I wasn't sleeping anymore.

These music-notes are going to stay on my watch forever.

Imperceptible like wine, and traceless like water,

you stole from me everything I'd saved!

You sat at my table and I was flying over it,

your gestures looked very much like «goodbye»

Then you asked for some green tea,

and I became one with your lips.

Lady, let me go.

Lady, fill my cup past the brim.

Lady, may I address you as «ти» ? 1

Lady, o lady, I want

green tea straight from your lips.

I dreamt of you and then woke up.

I had been left alone with only tea for company.

Nothing to do but smell your jasmine and hear your "goodbye".

You stole from me everything I'd saved.

Lady, let me go.

Lady, fill my cup past the brim.

Lady, may I address you as «ти» ?

Lady, o lady, I want

green tea straight from your lips.

1. Like many languages, Ukrainian has both a formal and informal "you"— this is the latter.
