[Kuplet 1]
Na korablyakh, khodil byvalo v plavan'ya
V chuzhikh moryakh brodil i shtormoval
V lyubom portu, v lyuboy zamorskoy gavani byval
Povsyudu ya..., povsyudu ya po domu toskoval
Povsyudu ya po domu toskoval
Banany yel, pil kofe na Martinike
Kuril v Stambule zlyye tabaki
V Kaire ya zheval bratishki finiki s toski
Oni, po mne…, oni po mnen'yu moyemu gor'ki
Oni vdali ot rodiny gor'ki
[Kuplet 2]
Net, ne po mne krasa v chuzhom okoshechke
V chuzhikh krayakh brodil ya mnogo dney
No ne ostavil tam dushi ni kroshechki (yey-yey)
Ona dlya Nas, ona dlya Nasti-Nasten'ki moyey
Ona dlya miloy Nasten'ki moyey
[Vokal'nyy Interlyudiya]
[Kuplet 3]
Kogda zh konchal ya plavan'ya dalokiye
To tseloval granit na pristanyakh
V rodnom Krymu i vo Vladivostoke ya v slezakh
Kak na Kuri..., kak na Kuril'skikh dal'nikh ostrovakh
Na samykh dal'nikh nashikh ostrovakh
