Skazhy, vorozhka, de zaraz mylyi mii?
Tell me, fortune teller, where is my darling now?
Vzhe kilka dniv nide yoho ne zustrichala
I haven't seen him anywhere for several days
Bez noho nespokiino na dushi moii
My soul is restless without him
Pro noho dumaiu bezsonnymy nochamy
I think about him during sleepless nights
Ty rozklady kolodu tak, shchoby vona
You lay out the deck so that it
Nam pokazala, shcho odna lysh yoho varta
She showed us that she alone is worth it
Sudylos doleiu z nym razom buty nam
We were destined to be together with him
I khai pro tse rozkazhe vse nastupna karta
And let the next card tell all about it
Vona tobi, vona tobi, vona tobi ne skazhe
She won't tell you, she won't tell you
Toho, shcho khochesh chuty, yakshcho karta tak ne liazhe
What you want to hear if the cards don't fall that way
Vona tobi, vona tobi vidkryie nezabarom
She will open up to you soon
Shcho vin tobi, shcho vin tobi ne para
What is he to you, that he is not your match
Skazhy, vorozhka, de zaraz mylyi mii?
Tell me, fortune teller, where is my darling now?
Nevzhe, vin z inshoiu des potaiky huliaie?
Is he secretly walking somewhere with someone else?
Maiu v seredyni emotsii burevii
I have stormy emotions in the middle
Yakyi mene niby pidshtovkhuie do kraiu
Which seems to push me to the edge
Ty rozklady kolodu tak, shchoby vona
You lay out the deck so that it
Nam pokazala, shcho ya marno nepokoius
She showed us that I was worried in vain
I mylyi tilky, shchoby holos mii lunav
And it's only nice that my voice is heard
Za mnoiu pide navit na pivnichnyi polius
He will follow me even to the North Pole
Vona tobi, vona tobi, vona tobi ne skazhe
She won't tell you, she won't tell you
Toho, shcho khochesh chuty, yakshcho karta tak ne liazhe
What you want to hear if the cards don't fall that way
Vona tobi, vona tobi vidkryie nezabarom
She will open up to you soon
Shcho vin tobi, shcho vin tobi ne para
What is he to you, that he is not your match
Dolia vin ne moia, moia
It's not my fate, it's mine
Ta do noho mene tak tiahne, yak
But I am so drawn to him
Ne zmohla by bez misiatsia Zemlia
The Earth would not be able to do without the moon
I bez noho tak, niby ya ne ya
And without him, it's as if I'm not me
Dolia vin ne moia, moia
It's not my fate, it's mine
Ta do noho mene tak tiahne, yak
But I am so drawn to him
Ne zmohla by bez misiatsia Zemlia
The Earth would not be able to do without the moon
I bez noho tak, niby ya ne ya
And without him, it's as if I'm not me

ворожка — fortune teller
Ворожка (vorozhka) translates to "fortune teller" or "soothsayer". It's a captivating and somewhat mystical word that immediately sets a magical tone for the song.
In the lyrics, the singer directly addresses a fortune teller, asking for insights into her beloved's whereabouts and their shared destiny. This word is central to the song's narrative, evoking curiosity about fate and the unknown, making it very enticing for a learner.
This song, "Vorozhka," is all about that gut-wrenching feeling when you're desperate for answers about someone you care about. Our singer is talking to a fortune teller, practically begging her to reveal where her beloved is. She hasn't seen him in days, and it's making her restless, keeping her up at night. She's really hoping the cards will show they're meant to be, that she's the only one for him.
But the fortune teller's cards have a different story to tell! The lyrics repeat, "Вона тобі, вона тобі, вона тобі не скаже / Того, що хочеш чути, якщо карта так не ляже" [She won't tell you what you want to hear if the card doesn't fall that way]. Ouch! The cards are going to reveal that "він тобі, що він тобі не пара" [he is not your match]. Despite this tough truth, she feels an intense pull towards him, like the Earth to the moon, saying "І без нього так, ніби я не я" [And without him, it's like I'm not myself]. It's a powerful look at wanting something so badly, even when fate says otherwise.
