Kudy? Chekay vypyi vody
Poshcho? Lito zvelos' v nishcho
Simsot molodyc' yoho chekalo
A var’yatu y toho zamalo
Bornya z solom’yanym spysom
A v ochach vereta-zavisa
Spivanky vranishni zlozyly v pokosy
V chliv-stodolu chary ponosym
U vohon dolon dobre strybaty
Zavazayut' hraty yich by zdolaty

Idy! Vze chas znesty mosty
Zazdy! Irza z’yida slidy
Ponad misyacem skachem v pohoni
Zorepadiv boyat'sya koni
Rozryvayut' skryvavleni puta
Shchob chvostatu kometu zdobuty
Provodzaly lito v hory tumanu
Rozhanyaly krykom brydku omanu
U vohnennyi snip rado strybaly
Bureviy nochey peremahaly!
