[Verse 1]

Я би кинула палити,

Ya by kynula palyty,

I would quit smoking,

Я би кинула і пити,

Ya by kynula i pyty,

I would quit drinking too,

Перестала б всіх учити —

Perestala b vsikh uchyty —

I would stop teaching everyone —

Тільки скучно так і жити!

Tilky skuchno tak i zhyty!

But it's so boring to live like that!

[Chorus]

Я би кинула палити,

Ya by kynula palyty,

I would quit smoking,

Я би кинула і пити,

Ya by kynula i pyty,

I would quit drinking too,

Перестала б всіх учити —

Perestala b vsikh uchyty —

I would stop teaching everyone —

Тільки скучно так і жити!

Tilky skuchno tak i zhyty!

But it's so boring to live like that!

[Verse 2]

Що ж, лишу все, як і є,

Shcho zh, lyshu vse, yak i ye,

Well, I'll leave everything as it is,

Хай життя собі пливе,

Khai zhyttia sobi plyve,

Let life just flow,

З цигаркою і вином,

Z tsyharkoyu i vynom,

With a cigarette and wine,

І з повчальним язиком.

I z povchalnym yazykom.

And with a lecturing tongue.

[Chorus]

Я би кинула палити,

Ya by kynula palyty,

I would quit smoking,

Я би кинула і пити,

Ya by kynula i pyty,

I would quit drinking too,

Перестала б всіх учити —

Perestala b vsikh uchyty —

I would stop teaching everyone —

Тільки скучно так і жити!

Tilky skuchno tak i zhyty!

But it's so boring to live like that!

[Bridge]

Може, в цьому є свій шарм,

Mozhe, v tsomu ye sviy sharm,

Maybe there's a charm in this,

Бути трохи не такою,

Buty trokhy ne takoyu,

To be a little different,

З власним стилем, власним карбом,

Z vlasnym stylem, vlasnym karbom,

With one's own style, one's own mark,

І з душею молодою.

I z dusheyu molodoyu.

And with a young soul.

[Chorus]

Я би кинула палити,

Ya by kynula palyty,

I would quit smoking,

Я би кинула і пити,

Ya by kynula i pyty,

I would quit drinking too,

Перестала б всіх учити —

Perestala b vsikh uchyty —

I would stop teaching everyone —

Тільки скучно так і жити!

Tilky skuchno tak i zhyty!

But it's so boring to live like that!

Lines explained

“Тільки скучно так і жити!”

Tilky skuchno tak i zhyty!

But it's so boring to live like that!

This line is the core sentiment of the song, expressing the speaker's reluctance to change because they perceive a 'boring' life without their current habits.

“І з повчальним язиком.”

I z povchalnym yazykom.

And with a lecturing tongue.

The phrase 'lecturing tongue' (повчальним язиком) humorously describes the speaker's habit of giving advice or telling others what to do, which they also consider part of their character.

“З власним стилем, власним карбом,”

Z vlasnym stylem, vlasnym karbom,

With one's own style, one's own mark,

This line speaks to individuality and authenticity, suggesting that having one's 'own mark' or unique characteristics is valuable, even if they are unconventional.
