Iz Berezan do kadri
Sichovyky mandzaly,
To krayalos' serdenko,
Yak vony vyrushaly.

To krayalos' serdenko
V chorunzoho Ivana,
Yak vze za nym zaperlas'
U Berezanach brama.

To krayalos' serdenko
V chorunzoho Yosypa:
– Proshchay, moye serdenko,
Bo doroha velyka.

Proshchay, moya divchyno,
Miy zolotyi prominnyu,
Moya ty osolodo
V voyennomu terpinnyu.

Proshchay, moya divchyno,
Ne zabuvay za mene,
Yak z viyny sya povernu,
Za zinku voz'mu tebe.

Divchyna yak pochula
Taki slova lyubovi,
To pocilunok zlozyla
V ustonka malynovi.

Divchyna yak pochula
Taki slova zavzyattya,
Sklonyla holovonku –
I vpala u ob’yattya.
