MUF Modern Ukrainian Folk Project — Бузок Тирю

How the purple lilac blooms The day breathes with the air

I steal lilac, I steal lilac I carry it home Let it smell everywhere I steal lilac, I steal lilac Let the sun see it, let people know

Oh, don't throw me off, don't stop me Hold my spring for me, I need it so

I climb over the fence like a shadow between the pickets This evening took me captive Purple cuts the nostrils — a corner of paradise I steal the blossoms, I steal your sap Grandma at the window: "Where are you going, girl?" But I'm already in a haze, I've already drifted away My apron full of honeyed thoughts Behind me only a little smoke remains

Sweet scent, head in a dance Rich nectar — every sip In the house it becomes truly fine Spring enters strangely, secretly

I steal lilac, I steal lilac I carry it home Let it smell everywhere I steal lilac, I steal lilac Let the sun see it, let people know

Oh, honey scent, oh, thick scent Springlike, deep, not so simple A bouquet that's not simple for you I need it, truly need it

Dew on my fingers like a tiny tear The first thunderstorm draws itself in the sky Neighbors whisper: "It cuts the soul again" And I set spring out on the table Let them say: "You're stealing — that's wrong" But in my house it's chocolate-warm now I see this burning color against the sun My own May so golden

I steal lilac, I steal lilac I carry it home Let it smell everywhere I steal lilac, I steal lilac Let the sun see it, let people know

Oh, honey scent, oh, thick scent Springlike, deep, not so simple

Lilac, I need you, truly need you Let it sting a little, let me steal I love this scent so much Without it — cold and silently raw But with it my heart won't go out

Lilac, don't wilt — let it smell everywhere I steal lilac, I steal lilac Let there be May, let it bloom in my apron Oh, honey scent, oh, thick scent I take it because it's only mine Lilac, I need you, truly need you It smells so fine — a sign in my house forever
