Lyrics and music author: народні |
Proshchavsya strilec' zi svoyeyu ridneyu,
Sam poyichav v daleku dorohu.
Za sviy ridnyi kray, za kozac'kyi zvychay
Ydemo v biy za svoyu peremohu.
A viter kolyshe zelenu travu,
Molodyi dub dododolu schylyvsya,
Lystya shelestyt', vbytyi strilec' lezyt',
Nad nym konyk yoho zazuryvsya.
– Oy konyu, miy konyu, ne stiy nadi mnoyu,
Ya tym chasom polezu samitniy,
Bizy, konyu miy, skazy mami moyiy,
Shcho lezu u stepu ubytyi.
Chay bat'ko i maty, i sestry moyi,
Nechay vony za mnoyu ne plachut',
Ya v stepu lezu, za ridneyu tuzu,
Chornyi kruk nadi mnoyu zakryache.
Za ryadamy ryady idut' nashi brattya,
Do pochodu harmaty yich hrayut'.
Za yichnyuyu chest' lysh berezovyi chrest,
Dribni slozy na hrud' prolyvayut'.
