Dumky neprokhani v mozok bez myla
Uninvited thoughts enter the brain without soap
Pyshutsia virshi v notatky nevmilo
Poems are written clumsily in the notes
Chorne ta bile viina podilyla
The black and white war divided
Ya sama myla sobi chy ne myla?
Did I wash myself or not?
Zamazuiu kola konsylerom
I cover the circles with concealer
Namotuiu kola kvartyroiu
I'm pacing around the apartment
Obitsiala sobi buty sylnoiu
I promised myself to be strong
Ale syly ye buty lysh shchyroiu
But the power is to be only sincere
Dai nam, Mari
Give us, Mary
Syl na novi mrii
Strength for new dreams
Dai nam, Mari
Give us, Mary
Syl na novi mrii
Strength for new dreams
Znovu uchora sobi nabrekhala
Yesterday, I lied to myself again
Shcho pokinchu iz zhyttiam mizh vokzalamy
That I'll end my life between the stations
Mriiaty znovu navchusia zukhvalo
I will learn to dream boldly again
Y stanu na nizhenky malo-pomalu
And I will get back on my little feet gradually
Ale svit stelyt lozhe Prokrusta
But the world lays out Procrustes' bed
I ya paltsi v molytvi do khrustu
And I press my fingers in prayer until they crack
Zroniu: Diva Mariia, iz vust ya
I will murmur: Virgin Mary, from my lips
Ne dai svitu poikhaty z hluzdu
Don't let the world go crazy
Zroniu: Diva Mariia, iz vust ya
I will murmur: Virgin Mary, from my lips
Ne dai svitu poikhaty z hluzdu
Don't let the world go crazy
Dai nam, Mari
Give us, Mary
Zroniu: Diva Mariia, iz vust ya
I will murmur: Virgin Mary, from my lips
Ne dai svitu poikhaty z hluzdu
Don't let the world go crazy
Dai nam, Mari
Give us, Mary
Syl na novi mrii
Strength for new dreams
Dai nam, Mari
Give us, Mary
Syl na novi mrii
Strength for new dreams

зухва́ло — audaciously / defiantly
Зухва́ло translates to "audaciously" or "defiantly". It's an adverb that describes doing something with bold confidence, often in a way that challenges norms or expectations.
In the song, Jerry Heil sings, "Мріяти знову навчуся зухва́ло" (I will learn to dream audaciously again). This word captures a powerful shift from despair to a defiant hope, making it a compelling and memorable choice for learners.
"AVE MARIA" is a prayer for strength during a dark stretch of mind. The singer describes uninvited thoughts crowding her head, writing clumsy poems in her notebook, and covering the circles under her eyes so no one notices how tired she really is.
She admits she lied to herself the day before about wanting to end things between the train stations, but she is teaching herself to dream boldly again and get back on her feet, one small step at a time. She feels the world demands an impossible standard of everyone (the reference to Procrustes' bed, the mythical bed nobody actually fits), so she presses her fingers together in prayer until her knuckles ache.
The chorus is her plea to the Virgin Mary: give us strength for new dreams, and don't let the world lose its mind. It's a song about holding on through anxiety and self-doubt, using an old, simple prayer as an anchor.
