Temno-siryi ekran vikna,
Myyut' zemlyu cholodni rosy,
De uchora bula vesna,
Tam s'ohodni osin.

Pryspiv:
Zal, meni zal,
Ochi spohadom davnim
Zvolozeni,
Zabludylas' moya pechal
Posered oseni... (ves' kuplet – 2)

Shche tremtyt' na tvoyich ustach
Ta usmishka, shcho pachne litom,
Tilky osin, mov zovtyi ptach,
Prolitaye nad bilym svitom.

Pryspiv

Nam shche dovho chekat' vesny,
Sluchat' vitru tryvozni zvuky,
Ne zbuvayut'sya v osin sny,
Ne zakinchuyut'sya rozluky. (ost 2 ryadky – 3)
