Sered polya navesni

Zihraly vesillya i znov kozaky
V dalekyi pohid vyrushaly.
Slozy ronyayuchy v serce moye,
Ty mene provodzala.

Rik promynuv, iz dalekyh krayiv
Chlopci veseli vertalys,
Spaleni stiny ta mertva zemlya
Vdoma yih zustrichaly.

Sered polya, navesni
Na mohyli zacvitaye teren.
Ty pryhodysh uvi sni
Ta sidayesh kolo mene.

Tyho napaly prudki moskali,
U sonnyh pidstupno strilyaly.
Strashno krychaly divchata vnochi,
Dovho haty palaly.

Sered polya, navesni
Na mohyli zacvitaye teren.
Bilym ptahom uvi sni
Ty litayesh kolo mene.

Davnye vesillya, daleki krayi,
Chrest derev’yanyi u poli.
Nache vohon, des pid sercem, tvoyi
Hirkiyi slozy divochi.

Sered polya, voseny,
Buinyi teren na mohyli v’yane,
Nache slozy, do zemli
Ty doshchem spadayesh.
