(Boy) American boy, ой-ой, мой boy, ой
(Boy) American boy, oh-oh, my boy, oh
(Boy) American boy, ой-ой, мой boy, ой-ой
(Boy) American boy, oh-oh, my boy, oh-oh
Я играю на балалайке
I play the balalaika
Это самый русский инструмент
It's the most Russian instrument
Я мечтаю жить на Ямайке
I dream of living in Jamaica
На Ямайке балалаек нет
In Jamaica, there are no balalaikas
И нету счастья в личной жизни
And there’s no happiness in my personal life
Проходят зря мои года
My years pass by in vain
Ну где ж ты, принц мой заграничный?
Where are you, my foreign prince?
Приходи поскорей, я жду тебя
Come soon, I'm waiting for you
American boy, American joy
American boy for always time
American boy for all time
American boy, уеду с тобой
American boy, I'll leave with you
Уеду с тобой, Москва, прощай
I'll leave with you, Moscow, goodbye
American boy, ой-ой
American boy, oh-oh
Уеду с тобой
I'll leave with you
American boy
Я простая русская девчонка
I'm just a simple Russian girl
За границей сроду не была
I've never been abroad
Ты американец, ты мальчонка
You're American, you're a boy
Увози меня, и все дела
Take me away, and that's that
Я буду плакать и смеяться
I'll cry and laugh, just like that
Когда усядусь в Mercedes
When I settle in the Mercedes
И буду в роскоши купаться
And I'll be bathing in luxury
Приезжай поскорей за мной, я здесь
Come quickly to get me, I'm right here
American boy, American joy
American boy for always time
American boy for all time
American boy, уеду с тобой
American boy, I'll leave with you
Уеду с тобой, Москва, прощай
I'll leave with you, Moscow, goodbye
American boy, ой, ой
American boy, oh, oh
Уеду с тобой
I will leave with you
American, American
American boy
American boy, ой-ой, мой boy, ой
American boy, oh-oh, my boy, oh
American boy, ой-ой, мой boy, ой
American boy, oh-oh, my boy, oh
American boy, American joy
American boy for always time
American boy for all time
American boy, уеду с тобой
American boy, I will leave with you
Уеду с тобой, Москва, прощай
I will leave with you, Moscow, farewell
American boy, ой-ой
American boy, oh-oh
Уеду с тобой
I'll leave with you
American boy, American joy
American boy for always time
American boy for all time
American boy, уеду с тобой
American boy, I'll leave with you
Уеду с тобой, Москва, прощай
I'll leave with you, Moscow, goodbye
American boy, ой-ой
American boy, oh-oh
Уеду с тобой
I'll leave with you
American, American
American boy
