Hude viter velmy v poli,
Reve, lis lamaye.
Plache kozak molodenkyi,
Dolyu proklynaye.
Hude viter velmy v poli,
Reve, lis lamaye.
Kozak nudyt'sya serdeshnyi,
Shcho robyt' ne znaye.

Hude viter velmy v poli,
Reve, lis lamaye.
Kozak stohne, bidolacha,
Sam sobi hadaye.
Revesh, vitre, ta ne plachesh,
Bo tobi ne tyazko,
Ty ne znayesh v sviti horya,
Ta tobi y ne vazko.

Odirvy z od sercya tuhu,
Roznesy po polyu,
Shchob ne plakavsya ya, bidnyi,
Na neshchasnu dolyu!
A koly c'oho ne zrobysh,
Kyn mene u more –
Nechay zo mnoyu potone
Moye lyute hore!..
