Bile pokryvalo
Na chornu trunu vpalo.
Zakrylo meni ochi,
Zrobylo bili nochi.
Ya lezu spokiyno,
Dumayu povilno,
Shcho vse v zytti mynaye,
Lysh spomyn zalyshaye.

Os' kryshku zakryvayut',
Vze cvyachy zabyvayut'.
Teper trunu pidnyaly,
Na plechi razom vzyaly.
Prynesly do mohyly,
Mene tam schoronyly.
V zemlyu zakopaly,
Vinkiv ponastavlyaly.

Svichky horyat' nedbalo –
Tak serce zabazalo.
Kolyshe viter chrest
Nechysta moya chest'.
Ale meni bayduze,
Odne lysh chochu duze:
Shchob bile pokryvalo
Dychaty davalo.
