Zura zdolat' nas ne zumiye,
Zabudut'sya lychi slova,
Koly zyve v dushi nadiya,
Todi y dusha tvoya zyva.
U nich zasliplenu i vohku,
Koly na dumci cholody,
Nadiyi nepohasnyi vohnyk,
Pomiz nevdach mene vedy.

Pryspiv:
Cvit nadiyi, cvit nadiyi pestyt' serce,
Ne lyshaye, ne lyshaye nas nide...
Chto chekaye, chto chekaye – toy dizdet'sya,
Chto shukaye, chto shukaye – toy znayde.

Vidkyn zali svoyi y dokory
I ne chylys' do samoty.
Use, povir, mynet'sya skoro,
Koly u shchastya virysh ty.
Koly zakrutyt' zla zaviya,
Shcho vze zdavatymet'sya – vse,
Lyuds'ka nadiya nas zihriye
I nas ne raz v zytti spase.
