Wind from the Sea Alex Ramenski

I am yearning for the dark Black Sea,
For the chestnuts and Odessa city,
Where the wind performs its endless play so free,
Every day a new and lonely ditty.

[Chorus]
Oh, wind from the sea, a fresh wind from the sea,
We are dancing to the music of the tide,
Oh, our Odessa-mama, she loves all of us, you see,
The famous lady known in Europe wide.


My God, how deep in love with my Odessa,
The port, the station, Privoz market's maze,
There are no words to tell you, I confess,
Not in a poem, or a simple phrase.

[Chorus]
Oh, wind from the sea, a fresh wind from the sea,
We are singing to the music of the tide,
Oh, our Odessa-mama, she loves all of us, you see,
The famous lady known in Europe wide.


The Duke, Odessa's father and its founder,
In pride he stands, and gazes at the sea,
His timeless fate is heavy, a silent wonder,
To rise above our shared destiny.

[Chorus]
Oh, wind from the sea, a fresh wind from the sea,
We are grieving to the music of the tide,
Oh, our Odessa-mama, she loves all of us, you see,
The famous lady known in Europe wide.


I am yearning for Odessa city,
For the chestnuts and the dark Black Sea,
Where the wind performs its lonely ditty,
Every evening wild and free.

[Chorus]
Oh, wind from the sea, a fresh wind from the sea,
We are laughing to the music of the tide,
We all love our dear Odessa-mama, you see,
The famous lady known in Europe wide.
We all love our dear Odessa-mama, you see,
The famous lady known in Europe wide.
