Kiev night

                  Виталий Лялюшко

Am         Dm               E7         Am
Under Kiev skies, when it’s cool, it’s hot.
C                 G             C
Girls all like to stroll in the light,
F7# E7  Am                              Dm
But at close of day, when the banduras play,
          Am            E7       Am
How we’ll dance in that Kiev night.
F7#  E7  Am                              Dm
Yes! At close of day, when the banduras play,
          Am            E7       Am
How we’ll dance in that Kiev night.

See the sun go down over domes and spires.
Evening come and stars are shining bright.
Laughter everywhere, oh how it fills the air,
As we wait for that Kiev night.
Yes! It’s everywhere, oh how it fills the air,
As we wait for that Kiev night.

If your travels take you to Cossack Lands,
Eating, drinking, dancing – what a sight.
Where no greater treat, than "samohonka" neat,
Can be found in that Kiev night.
Yes! No greater treat, than "samohonka" neat,
Can be found in that Kiev night.
