Синяя вода
Поле без следа
Без конца и края
Синяя вода
Ты спешишь куда?
Ты спешишь куда?

К морю синему

Там, где волны сильные
Там, где волны сильные
Плещутся всегда
К морю синему
Поскорей неси меня
Поскорей неси меня
Синяя вода!

Синяя вода
Облаков стада
Проплывают мимо
Синяя вода
Ты спешишь куда?
Ты спешишь куда?

Ивы клонятся
Клонятся до пояса
И звучит вполголоса
Песня ветерка
К морю синему
Поскорей неси меня
Поскорей неси меня
Синяя река!

Ивы клонятся
Клонятся до пояса
И звучит вполголоса
Песня ветерка
К морю синему
Поскорей неси меня

Поскорей неси меня
Синяя река!
