Poshel takoi bazar
Chto vrode tipa Salikh
Ivanov tam uslikhal
I proshlo dve nedeli
A on vse tantzeval
I dazhe plity videl
No ne zapisal
Ya U-videl
No ne zapisal
Na Sennoi u bochki s kvasom
Poshel takoi bazar
Chto vrode tipa Kisik
U Krimskikh U Tatar
Khaltura podvalila
Slabal "Natzional"
I dazhe tainu slishal
No ne zapisal
I dazhe bochku lomal
I dazhe podiya v poezdemne ruku zhal
A to po farvater
"Raketu" tam ugnal
Kapitan Farvater videl
No ne zapisal
A na bochku prinyal
I chto to tam lomal
A oseledets vnytz
O daval, daval
A dusha farvater
Chto ti tam uznal
I Gospoda slishal
No ne zapisal
Kogda mne vse obidno
A chtob ti tam ridal
A ya vishel v pole
I chto to prooral
A to chto za delo
A bochku lomal
Poruchenie slishal
No ne zapisal
(Parte em polonês)
No bez Podola Terem ne vozmozhen
Kak svyatoi Vladimir dez kresta
Eto zhe kusok Odessi
Eto novosti dlya pressi
I ne zapisal
Istenem istenem
Szerelmes istenem
Hogy kell e világo
Mikor ölelni kell
Karjait fájlalja
Bochku otlomal

The song "Muskat" by J.U.F. describes a series of missed opportunities and regrets due to not recording or documenting important moments. The lyrics narrate different situations that the singer witnesses but fails to capture on record. The first verse mentions a bazaar in Bessarabka, where the singer saw a dancer that he didn't record. The next verse describes another market where the singer failed to record a musician playing an instrument. The third verse mentions a bar where the singer saw a fight and heard a secret but didn't write anything down. The final verse talks about a command to break a barrel that the singer missed recording.
The repetitive phrase "no ne zapisal" translates to "but didn't record," emphasizing the theme of missed opportunities and regret. The use of specific place names adds to the vividness and authenticity of the narrative. The song also incorporates elements of different languages and cultures, with phrases in Russian, Ukrainian, and Hungarian, reflecting the multi-ethnic background of the band members.
