Skazy,
Skilky svitla i skilky nochey,
Skilky lodu bayduzych ochey
Lyshylos' zustrity.
Skazy...
Skilky toho lyshylos' zyttya?
Chy potribnym ye moye im’ya
Komus' v c'omu sviti?
Yakshcho svyatist' viry moyeyi – obman,
Dozvol meni znyknuty z nym!
Yakshcho moho sercya torknulas' vesna,
Day sylu zletity!
