Rayduha-duha,
Yak pryide ranok,
To ziydy z nebes
Ta na miy hanok –
Strinemo zoryu
Pislya temnoi nichky,
Zapalyu svichky –
Zhadayu mertvych.

Yak vpade zhory
Zirka persha,
Kosy rozpushchu,
Zhadayu mertvych,
U tanok pushchus'
Bilya temnoyi richky,
Zapalyu svichky,
Zlyakayu ptachiv.

Yak ziyde na krok
Sonce z dachiv,
Zaspivayu son,
Zlyakayu ptachiv.
Prytulyus' do nih
Yabloni-dychky,
Zapalyu svichky,
Zavyyu vovkom.

Stanu do pravdy
Sirym oblychchyam.
Zvyknu do boli –
Vona stane zvychna.
Zvyknu do doli –
Vona stane zvychna.
Zvyknu do voli –
Vona stane zvychna.
