Lyrics and music author: Олександр Шевченко |
Desyat' rokiv horila zemlya u lyudey pid nohamy.
Desyat' rokiv stohnala zemlya vid vorozych chobit.
Desyat' rokiv karpats'ke selo vze ne spalo nochamy,
Desyat' rokiv chekalo syniv svoyich bilya vorit.
Kozen den za selom u lisach skrehotyat' avtomaty.
Kozen den umyvayet'sya ranok v haryachiy krovi.
I cholodnoyi temnoyi nochi do nashoyi chaty
Prynesly molodoho chlopchynu braty lisovi.
A koly partyzana Karpaty poklykaly syni,
I koly vze nareshti nastav rozluchatysya chas,
Vin sorochku svoyu pozostavyv na pam’yat' divchyni:
"Nechay nosyt' tviy syn i nechay pam’yataye pro nas".
Pryspiv:
Chorna-chorna bula ta sorochka, chornisha vid nochi.
Chorna-chorna, yak smert'. Chorna-chorna, yak sviza rillya.
Chorna-chorna bula ta sorochka, yak chlopcevi ochi.
Chorna-chorna bula, yak moya ukrayins'ka zemlya.
Dovho-dovho lezala sorochka u mamyniy skryni,
Dovho-dovho chekala poshany, lyuds'koho tepla.
I nareshti nastala pora: ya vdyahnuv yiyi nyni;
Po shchoci u babusi tychenka sloza potekla.
I v dushi zazvuchaly nikoly nechuvani struny,
I sama mymovoli rozpryamylas' hordo spyna.
Shcho b ne stalos' zi mnoyu i de by u sviti ne buv ya,
Peredam tu sorochku onukam svoyim i synam.

Chorna-chorna vona, ta sorochka, chornisha vid nochi.
Chorna-chorna, yak smert'. Chorna-chorna, yak sviza rillya.
Chorna-chorna vona, ta sorochka, yak chlopcevi ochi.
Chorna-chorna vona, yak moya ukrayins'ka zemlya.
