To buv dalekyi son,
Yakyi ne zna povtoru.
To buv dalekyi son
I vse bulo v tim sni.
Stoyav horoyu lis,
De pochynalys' hory,
Chodyv za lisom hrim
V nebesniy tyshyni.

To buv dalekyi son,
Chodyly litni hrozy
I dvoye olenyat
Chovalys' pid kushchem.
To buv dalekyi son:
Tam yasni-yasni kosy
Blyshchaly pid doshchem,
Smiyalys' pid doshchem.

To buv dalekyi son,
Takoho bilsh ne bude...
To buv dalekyi son
I ty zi sni bula...
A znayesh? Shchos' take
Teche teper u hrudyach,
Mov chystyi toy kryshtal
Z hirs'koho dzerela.
