Syvi kosy nachylyly
Verby nad vodoyu.
Pomozy synochkam, Boze,
Vernutysya z boyu.
Naletilo busurmaniv
T'ma – syla-sylenna.
Rozhorilos', nemov v pekli,
Polum’ya strashenne!

Nechyst' lyuta, het' dodomu,
Poky teple more!
Bo Sirko yak rozlyutuye,
Oy, bude vam hore!
Kozachenki vusa krutyat',
Pistoli strilyayut'.
Koni turkiv kopytamy
Miz ochey vdaryayut'.

Nemov riy osynnyi, honyat'
Slavni zaporizci
V mori Chornim zasolyty
Turkiv, nemov v dizci...
Syvi kosy pidnyalysya,
V rosi zasiyaly.
Yidut' kozaky dodomu –
Zemlyu vidstoyaly!
