You-kraine

You say: Ukraine 

I say: my kraine 

But why-kraine should we cry-kraine

bygones will be bygones in the by-and-by-kraine

(It’s my kraine)

Your friends say "stay away" 

they never understood us anyway 

Why should we have to do what they tell us?

They're just jealous

(It’s my kraine)

We could mess around in Odessa

having vodka and caviar 

And what's a border anyway

but a line designed to keep us apart?

You're breaking my heart

You say it's for the best

but in Russia "nyet" sounds just like "yes"

I’ll take you by the Luhansk and be your czar

we’ll make a new start

We could mess around in Odessa

having vodka and caviar 

And what's a border anyway

but a line designed to keep us apart?

You're breaking my heart

You've felt the love at the end of my gun 

and I made you a gift of thousands of sons 

it’s easy to end this starvation and pain

the solution is plain:

just say it's my kraine

just say it's my kraine

you know it's my kraine
