Az men fort keyn Sevastopl
Iz nisht vayt fun Semferopl:
Dort iz a stantsye faran.
Ver darf zukhn naye glikn,
S’iz a stantsye, an antikl,
Dzhankoye, Dzhan, Dzhan, Dzhan.

||: Hey, Dzhan-, hey Dzhankuya,
Hey, Dzhanvili, hey, Dzhankuya!
Hey Dzhankoye, Dzhan, Dzhan, Dzhan! :||

Entfert, yidn, oyf mayn kashe:
Vu’z mayn bruder, vu’z Abrashe?
Geyt ba im der traktor vi a ban!
Di mume Leye ba der kosilke,
Beyle bay der molotilke
In Dzhankoye, Dzhan, Dzhan, Dzhan!

||: Hey, Dzhan-, hey Dzhankuya,
Hey, Dzhanvili, hey, Dzhankuya!

Esn fete yoykh mit mandlen,
Nit zayn keyn arbetsman!
Dus kenen zogn nor di sonim:

Tut a kuk oyf Dzhan, Dzhan, Dzhan!

||: Hey, Dzhan-, hey Dzhankuya,
Hey, Dzhanvili, hey, Dzhankuya!
Hey Dzhankoye, Dzhan, Dzhan, Dzhan! :||
