Stoyu na dorozi

Stoyu na dorozi posered nochi,
Vpered – boyusya, nazad – ne hochu,
Chmary zbyrayutsya v chorni zhrayi,
I ranok, chomus, ne pospishaye.

Pryspiv:
Zemlya ohluhla i nebo osliplo...
Hei tam, hto-nebud,
Vvimknit meni sonyachne svitlo!
Hei tam, hto-nebud,
Vvimknit meni sonyachne svitlo!

Bo yak meni znaty – koho proshchaty,
Koho proshchaty, a z kym proshchatys?..
I yak zrozumity – koho zality,
Koho zality, a komu zalitys?..

Pryspiv

Tak nepomitno pidkralasya vtoma,
Yaka z ty daleka, doroha do domu.
I ya zalyshayus na vidstani nochi,
Vpered – boyusya, nazad – ne hochu...
