Ne khotilos by tak zalyshytysia bez moria

Don't wanna end up without the sea like this

Ne khotilos by tak zakhlynutysia na mili

Don't wanna choke in the shallows like that

Zapovitni iakby dozvoliaiut zakhotity

Those cherished "ifs" let us dare to desire

A budenni ale ne daiut nam do moria yty

But the daily "buts" won't let us reach the sea

Chutno, nudno, i khochetsia udvokh

You can hear it's dull, and we just wanna be two

Spaty, znaty piliuli vid vyna

Sleep, grab the pills that cure the wine

Daite znaity meni novi slova

Let me find some brand-new words

Daite, daite do dna!

Pour it, pour it down to the bottom!

Ya namaliuiu toi den, de litaiu

I'll paint the day where I fly

I toi den, de spivaiu ya

And the day where I sing

Toi den! Toi den!

That day! That day!

I pobachu chaiku ya v poloti

And I'll see a seagull up in flight

Ya v nebi, ne v boloti

I'm in the sky, not in the mud

Ya v toi den, o mamo, v toi den!

I'm in that day, oh mama, that day!

Daite meni lystok

Give me a sheet

Nebezpechno vnochi, netsikavo u den

It's risky at night, dull in the day

I kaminnia letyt, prorostaie nasinnia z noho

And stones go flying, seeds sprout from them

Chutno, nudno, vono tebe navpil

It's loud, it's dull, it splits you in two

Hosti kosti kladut sobi na stil

Guests lay bones on the table

Daite znaity meni novi slova

Let me find some brand-new words

Daite, daite do dna!

Pour it, pour it down to the bottom!

Ya namaliuiu toi den, de litaiu

I'll paint the day where I fly

I toi den, de spivaiu ya

And the day where I sing

Toi den! Toi den!

That day! That day!

I pobachu chaiku ya v poloti

And I'll see a seagull up in flight

Ya v nebi, ne v boloti

I'm in the sky, not in the mud

Ya v toi den, o mamo, v toi den!

I'm in that day, oh mama, that day!

Ya namaliuiu toi den, de litaiu

I'll paint the day where I fly

I toi den, de spivaiu ya

And the day where I sing

Toi den! Toi den!

That day! That day!

I pobachu chaiku ya v poloti

And I'll see a seagull up in flight

Ya v nebi, ne v boloti

I'm in the sky, not in the mud

Ya v toi den, v toi den!

Заповітні — Cherished / Sacred

Заповітні translates to 'cherished' or 'sacred'. It's a word that carries a deeper emotional weight than a simple 'desired' or 'wished for'.

In the context of the song, it's used with 'якби' (if only) to describe 'cherished 'if only's' – the deeply held, almost sacred desires or hypothetical situations that allow one to dream and want more. This word beautifully captures the longing and the profound nature of these unfulfilled wishes, making it quite evocative.

Have you ever felt stuck, dreaming of a better day but held back by everyday life? That's exactly what Okean Elzy explores in "Той День" (Toi Den) [That Day]. The song starts with a longing for freedom, saying, "Не хотілось би так залишитися без моря" [I wouldn't want to be left without the sea like this] and wishing they wouldn't "захлинутися на мілі" [drown in the shallows]. It's about those 'if onlys' that let us dream, but the 'buts' of daily life keep us from reaching the sea.

The lyrics talk about a desire to escape the mundane, feeling "Чутно, нудно" [Audible, boring] and wanting to find "нові слова" [new words]. The singer dreams of a specific day, repeating, "Я намалюю той день, де літаю / І той день, де співаю я" [I will draw that day where I fly / And that day where I sing]. It's a powerful image of soaring like a seagull, being "в небі, не в болоті" [in the sky, not in the swamp]. It's all about yearning for that perfect day of freedom and joy, a day where everything feels right.
