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

Rik promynuv, iz dalekych krayiv
Chlopci veseli vertalys',
Spaleni stiny ta mertva zemlya
Vdoma yich zustrichaly.

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

Tycho napaly prudki moskali,
U sonnych pidstupno strilyaly.
Strashno krychaly divchata vnochi,
Dovho chaty palaly.

Sered polya, navesni
Na mohyli zacvitaye teren.
Bilym ptachom 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,
Buynyi teren na mohyli v’yane,
Nache slozy, do zemli
Ty doshchem spadayesh.
