Koly syly vzhe nema, koly strilky na nuli
When there's no strength left, when the hands hit zero
Ya vmykaiu tvoi foto i dyvlius na svoiu Mi
I turn on your photos and look at my Mi
Ty poky shche malenka ta tvoia syla mohutnia
You're still little yet your power's mighty
Znai tato v tebe viryt i pyshe lysta v maibutnie
Know dad believes in you and writes a letter to the future
Poperedu doroha dovzhynoiu v zhyttia
Ahead is a road the length of life
Khai tsei trek bude zashytyi v tvoie sertsebyttia
Let this track be stitched into your heartbeat
Moie dytia, moia vira, moho shchastia mira
My child, my faith, the measure of my joy
Z blyskuchymy ochyma nebesnoho yuvelira
With sparkling eyes of a heavenly jeweler
Ne znaiu skilky dolia shche dozvolyt prozhyty
I don't know how much longer fate'll let me live
Ta tse naikrashche shcho ya mozhu, Mi, tobi zalyshyty
But this is the best I can leave you, Mi
Ty budui svoie zhyttia, ya fundament tobi vykladu
You build your life, I'll lay the foundation for you
Bo lipshe shcho ya mozhu, buty spravzhnim tobi prykladom
'Cause the best I can do is be a real example for you
Vchynky to krashchi prykrasy
Deeds are the finest jewelry
I v tsomu sviti istyna odna, liubov tse baza
And in this world there's one truth: love is the base
Budut obrazy, budut padinnia, yak stysne hrudy
There'll be hurts, there'll be falls, when your chest tightens
Slukhai sertse, bo navkolo stilky brudu i otruty
Listen to your heart, 'cause there's so much filth and poison around
Budut zviri, budut liudy, budut shchyri, budut Yudy
There'll be beasts, there'll be people, some sincere, some Judas
Ty nesy svitu vesnu, ya na sebe vizmu liutyi
Bring spring to the world, I'll take the fierce February on myself
Ya ne khochu shchob proishlo tvoie dytynstvo v ukryttiakh
I don't want your childhood to pass in shelters
Ya ne poruch, bo kokhaiu tebe bilshe za zhyttia
I'm not nearby 'cause I love you more than life
Ty mii talisman, ty mii oberih
You're my talisman, you're my safeguard
Skilky v tebe shche poperedu vilnykh dorih
So many free roads still await you
Skilky zbytykh nih i prolytykh sliz
So many scraped feet and shed tears
Ya b tebe krasune lehko skriz vse perenis
I'd carry you, beauty, through it all with ease
Ta ya i sam po nis liz u take boloto
But I myself went up to my nose into such a swamp
Vidchuvshy dno, lysh potim tsinuiesh ti skhody
Only after touching the bottom you value those stairs
Shcho pobudovani z chuzhykh pomylok
That are built from others' mistakes
Zavzhdy roby z usoho vysnovky i kozhen tvii krok
Always draw conclusions from everything and every step you take
Bude napruzhenym tezh, ta koly vazhko ty rostesh
Each will be tense too, but when it's hard you grow
Dlia dii nemaie steli i dlia mrii nemaie mezh
There's no ceiling for action and no borders for dreams
Khai dusha tvoia napovnena nese yak na vitrylakh
Let your full soul carry you like on sails
Bo koly z toboiu pravda, za plechyma rostut kryla
'Cause when truth's with you, wings sprout behind your back
I liuby svoiu krainu, ne bud perekotypolem
And love your country, don't be tumbleweed
Skilky vtrat, skilky tat, ne povernutsia nikoly
So many losses, so many dads won't ever return
Skilky lytsariv pishlo, z praporamy v zasvity
So many knights have gone, with flags to the beyond
Ya hartuiu v tobi sylu, skorystaisia i svity
I temper strength in you, use it and shine
I palai i shukai z shchyrym sertsem yak u tata
Blaze and search with a sincere heart like dad's
Shchob yakshcho skazav kokhaiu, mih za tse vidpovidaty
So if you say I love you, you can answer for it
Shchob ne bulo, ya zavzhdy na zemli i na khmaryni
Whatever happens, I'm always on earth and on a cloud
Budu v kozhnim tvoim krotsi, ty v kozhnii moii klityni
I'll be in every step you take, you're in every cell of mine
I poky chas mynaie myla zasynai
And while time passes, darling, fall asleep
Ya zavzhdy budu poruch, znai
I'll always be near, know that
Ya zberezhu nash Disnei i zvisno
I'll keep our Disney, of course
Tato vkryie tebe pisneiu, zasynai
Dad'll blanket you with a song, fall asleep
I ty chekaiesh znovu mene dopizna
And you wait for me late again
Obitsiav, yak ya pryide vesna
I promised, when spring comes
A vzhe skoro bude lito, ta ya yidu
And summer's coming soon, but I'm leaving
Bo ty tata oberih i mii talisman
Because you're dad's safeguard and my talisman

перекотиполем — tumbleweed
Перекотиполем literally translates to "tumbleweed". It's a vivid and somewhat rare word in song lyrics, evoking a strong visual.
In this song, the artist uses it metaphorically in the phrase "не будь перекотиполем" (don't be a tumbleweed). He's advising his daughter not to be rootless, aimless, or easily swayed, but instead to be grounded and connected to her country. This makes it a powerful and culturally resonant word.
"Mi" is YARMAK's letter to his young daughter, written as a lullaby.
He looks back at his own childhood and forward to hers, promising to lay the foundation for her life and to lead by example rather than just words. He admits he won't always be nearby, sometimes protecting her means being away, but tells her she is worth more than his own life.
The middle of the song turns into advice: love your country, learn from your own mistakes, hold on to a sincere heart, and never let your word be worth less than your promise.
It closes as a bedtime scene. He sings her to sleep, promises to stay close through every season, and calls her his talisman, the thing that keeps him going just as much as he protects her.
