Shcho zh tse ya, shcho zh tse ya ne zumiv
What's with me, what's with me, I couldn't
Zupynytysia vchasno, vse yasno
Stop in time, it's all clear
Zi mnoiu teper i nazavzhdy
With me now and forever
Pizno, ne ydy, ne ydy, vid mene
Too late, don't go, don't go, away from me
Rap-vap pa-ru ri-rap bai
Rap-vap pa-ru ri-rap bye
Ya nalyiu sobi, ya nalyiu tobi vyna
I'll pour myself, I'll pour you some wine
A khochesh iz medom
Or want it with honey
Khto ty ye, ty vziala moie zhyttia
Who are you, you took my life
I ne viddala, khto ty ye
And didn't give it back, who are you
Ty vypyla moiu krov i pianoiu vpala
You drank my blood and fell down drunk
Tvoi ochi klychut khochut mene
Your eyes call, they want me
Vedut za soboiu
They lead me on
Khto ty ye, i kym by ne bula ty
Who are you, and whoever you may be
Ya ne zdamsia bez boiu
I won't surrender without a fight
Ya ne zdamsia bez boiu
I won't surrender without a fight
Sho zh tse ya, sho zh tse ya ne zumiv
What's with me, what's with me, I couldn't
Zupynyty sebe tebe
Stop myself, stop you
Sohodni, sohodni tak duie
Today, today it's blowing hard
Bez tebe sumuiu sumuiu bez tebe
Without you I miss you, miss you without you
Nakyn shchos na sebe
Put something on
Rap-vap pa-ru ri-rap bai
Rap-vap pa-ru ri-rap bye
Ya nalyiu sobi, ya nalyiu tobi vyna
I'll pour myself, I'll pour you some wine

без бою — without a fight
Без бою translates to "without a fight". It's a powerful and evocative phrase that immediately sets a dramatic tone for the song.
In the context of the lyrics, the singer declares, "Я не здамся без бою" (I will not surrender without a fight). This phrase embodies resilience and determination, suggesting a struggle against emotional surrender or a difficult situation. It's a central theme of the song, making it both memorable and impactful.
Okean Elzy's "Без Бою (Bez Boiu)" drops us right into a moment of intense emotional struggle. The singer is grappling with a relationship that seems to have taken over his life, asking, "Що ж це я, що ж це я не зумів Зупинитися вчасно?" [What is it, what is it that I couldn't Stop in time?]. It feels like a realization that he's gone too far, too deep, and now it's "Пізно, не йди, не йди, від мене" [Too late, don't go, don't go from me].
He describes this person as someone who "взяла моє життя І не віддала" [took my life And didn't give it back] and even "випила мою кров і п'яною впала" [drank my blood and fell drunk]. Despite this powerful, almost vampiric imagery, he admits, "Твої очі кличуть хочуть мене Ведуть за собою" [Your eyes call, want me, Lead me on]. It's a push and pull, a fight he's determined not to lose, declaring defiantly, "Я не здамся без бою" [I won't surrender without a fight]. He even offers, "Я налию собі, я налию тобі вина А хочеш із медом" [I'll pour myself, I'll pour you some wine, Or do you want it with honey?], which adds a fascinating layer of intimacy and perhaps a desperate attempt to hold on.
