Chay trychi proklyata bude ota hodyna,
Koly na atomni zhodylas' Ukrayina.
Ta chy zhodylasya? I chto koho pytav?
Koly Shcherbyc'kyi vse za nas rishav.
Yake to "shchastya", shcho nam vybuchnuv reaktor –
Na Ukrayini stalo krashche, yak kolys',
I radiaciya teper vze "nyzche" normy,
Po bezrozmirniy Romanenkoviy shkali.

Pryspiv:
O, minatomenerho,
Boday by tya rozderlo,
Boday by tya rozderlo het' chysto, po kusku.
Bo poky my shche spaly vy nas zaminuvaly
Svyatyni nashi y doli teper na volosku.
Teper use vysyt' na volosku!

Yakby to vsich zibrat' vas, yanychary,
Chto svoyu leptu u trahediyu cyu vklav,
Chto na parad pohnav ditey, i chto milyony
Lyuds'kych hroshey v chornobylciv ukrav.
Yakby to vsich zibraty vas – i v zonu,
Shchoby ne plodyly podibnych tut sobi.
Myluytes' tym, shcho skoyily, do skonu,
Nashcho vas tut, koly tam krashche, dalebi.

O, minatomenerho,
Boday by tya rozderlo,
Boday by tya rozderlo na tysyachi kuskiv.
Chay tvoyi komandyry
Zdayut' v Moskvi kvartyry
I yidut' do chornobyls'kych vovkiv.
I yidut' zyty do chornobyls'kych vovkiv.

Ta doky my shche budemo movchaty?
Pryrecheni z usi, chto tut zyve.
Na muky ditok, vnukiv spohlyadaty,
Y dyvytysya yak hyne vse zyve!?
Vstavayte! Pidnimaytesya, komu shche
Svoye zyttya i inshych dorohe,
Y borit'sya, shchob pozakryvat' navichno
Oti nashi mohylshchyky – AES.
