Kolyskova otamanu

Ochi, hlopche, zakryvai,
Zasynaty pochynai.
Splyat davno uze malyata i
Vsi zviryata, i ptashenyata.
Spy, mii ridnyi, zolotyi,
Vnuchok ljubyi, dorohyi.

Sonechko i hmary splyat,
Viterec i berizky splyat.
Zironky i misyac syayut,
Tebe z nichkoyu vitayut.
Spy, nash ljubyi, dorohyi,
Kozak ridnyi, zolotyi.

Splyat i hory, i richky,
I smerichenky-svichky.
Spy, kozache, iz tumanom –
Znayu: "Budesh otamanom!"
Spy, synochok dorohyi, –
Mami z tatom ty svyatyi!
