Hey ze do zbroyi, brattya, za volyu,
Z vorohom lyutym chas robyty lad.
Vze revut' harmaty – schamenysya kate:
Vidday, vidday Ukrayinu nazad!

Ty ruynuvav nas, ty plyundruvav nas,
De buly shkoly – tam zaklav tyurmy,
Hatyv hrebli, yamy nashymy kistkamy,
Nevze z, nevze z ne lyudy my?

De nasha slava, slava kryvava,
Nashi het'many, Sich i kozaky?
Vse katy zabraly, vse poruynuvaly,
A my narod nuzdennyi, zebraky.

Chochemo voli, vlasnoyi doli,
Chochemo vilno rozvyvaty svit,
Chochemo prosvity, chochemo letity,
Yak ptach, yak ptach, yak ptach v shyrokyi svit.
