V dev’yatsot shtyrnastim roci, yak znyva zachalys

V dev’yatsot shtyrnastim roci, yak znyva zachalys,
Dvi studentky ukrayinski do strilciv vstupaly.
Stepanivna i Halyechko vzyaly rozmyshlyaty,
Pishly ony dlya vkrayinciv slavy dobuvaty.
A my, bidni ukrayinci, na to ne zvazaly,
Shchob studentky ukrayinski slavu zdobuvaly.
Nashi strilci sichoviyi toho sya dizdaly,
Shcho divchata ukrayinski rany yim v’yazaly.
A yak nashi tovaryshky vstupyly u boyi,
Zasluzyly za vidvaznist sribniyi medali.
I tak nashi tovaryshky zavshe voyuvaly,
Shcho v naihirshi ofenzyvi komandu trymaly.
Po tim mnoho zholosylos tovaryshok riznyh,
Stepanivna i Halyechko – vze ranhy horunzyh.
Ponad nashi tovaryshky revily harmaty –
Stepanivna i Halyechko vmily voyuvaty.
Voyuvaly, dobuvaly i slavu, i volju,
Ta ne odnu zistavyly mohylu na polju.
Vysokiyi ti mohyly, de mohlo spochyty
Strileckeye bile tilo, ranamy pokryte.
V Bolehovi tovaryshky tyazko voyuvaly,
[V] tovaryshky Stepanivny vze volju zabraly.
Tohdy strilci-ukrayinci revno zaplakaly,
Shcho vze v misti Bolehovi bez mamy zistaly.
A Halyechko – tovaryshka sama sya zistala,
A na misce Stepanivny Dmyterkivna stala.
Desyatnycya Myhailyshyn i Handzya Dmyterko
Vze hodyly na patrolju, yak sya tilko smerklo.
Iryna Kuz i Rysivna vse sluzbu robyly,
To shchodnyny dvi hodyny na posta hodyly.
I tak nashi tovaryshky tyazko voyuvaly,
Shcho moskali, yak dyki psy, vid nyh utikaly.
Tovaryshka Stepanivna ne mala nadiyi,
Shchoby teper biduvala v Tashkenti v Aziyi.
Bodai ze vas, moskalyky, zinky ne piznaly!
Nashcho vy nam Stepanivnu v nevolju zabraly?
Oi my by vam, moskalyky, rumu pyty daly,
Shchoby-ste nam Stepanivnu nazad vidoslaly.
Bo my by vam, moskalyky, spokoyu ne daly,
Yakby-ste nam Stepanivnu nazad ne viddaly.
Oi bo nasha Stepanivna v Aziyi biduye
Vid morozu studenoho ta shche i holoduye.
Bodai by vas, moskalyky, zemlya ne prynyala:
Cherez vas sya Stepanivna v nevolju distala.
Dai ze, Boze, sto lit zyttya nashii Stepanivni,
Ona slavy dobuvala cili[i] Ukrayini.
Oi, Hospody mylostyvyi, Svyatyi Mykolayu,
Dopomozy Stepanivni vernutys do krayu.
Oi prosymo pana Boha i budemo prosyty,
Shchoby z nashov Stepanivnov shche sya zobachyty.
