Intro – soft acoustic balalaika + gentle drums
Yooo-delayee-oo, ah-ah, yeah
Verse 1
Ty svityshʹ, yak ranniy sonʹtse,
V vodi svoiy, zirka mryy plavʹe.
Walking through the dark, I feel your flame,
Ty pokazheshʹ, shcho ne vse propalo.
Pre-Chorus
Yodel-ay-oo, hearts together beat,
Z nami svit, we never face defeat.
Chorus
Light the way, svitytʹ shlyakh,
Through the night, we’ll find our track.
Yodel-ay, yodel-ay-oo,
With you, my heart knows what is true.
Verse 2
Bandura strums, balalaika hums,
Ty pokazheshʹ, yak zori pryymayutsya.
Step by step, through shadow we run,
The night will fade, and day has begun.
Pre-Chorus
Yodel-ay-oo, hands reach the sky,
Svitytʹ shlyakh, we’ll never say goodbye.

Light the way, svitytʹ shlyakh,
Through the night, we’ll find our track.
Yodel-ay, yodel-ay-oo,
With you, my heart knows what is true.

Ah-ah, ya-ya, oh-oh,
Ty svityshʹ, ty svityshʹ…
Ah-ah, ya-ya, oh-oh,
Lead me home, lead me home…

Light the way, svitytʹ shlyakh,
Through the night, we’ll find our track.
Yodel-ay, yodel-ay-oo,
With you, my heart knows what is true.
