Iz Berezan do kadri
Sichovyky mandzaly,
Tam krayalos' serdenko
Iz hor’ya i pechaly.

Kervavylos' serdenko
I bylos' do zahynu,
Bo v Berezanach pokynuv
Kochanuyu divchynu.

Och, buv to raz veselyi chas,
Yak molodiz hulyala,
Ach, bulo v mene shchastya raz –
Ne dovho to tryvalo.

U hayu, v zelenim hayu
Sydiv ya razom z neyu,
Svityv misyac' vysoko
Nadi mnov i nad neyu.

Vona tak lyubo-mylo
Do mene promovlyala,
Tulylas', mov dytyatko, –
I ruky sprotyahala.

– Proshchay, moye orlyatko,
Miy sonyachnyi prominnyu,
Moya ty osolodo
V voyennomu terpinnyu.
