Yichav strilec' na viynonku
Proshchav svoyu divchynonku:
"Proshchay mylenka, chornobryvenka,
Ya ydu v chuzu storononku.

Poday, divchyno, chustynu,
Bo, yak u boyu zahynu,
Nakryyut' ochi temnoyi nochi,
Lehshe v mohyli spochynu".

Lychiyi lyudy nasylu
Vzyaly neshchasnuyu mylu,
A sered polya hnet'sya topolya
Ta y na strilec'ku mohylu.
