Nash orel pid oblakamy

Nash orel pid oblakamy vysoko litaye.
Tut nam mylo, tut nam ljubo, zurby zaspivaimo.

Oi carycya Kateryna, shcho ty narobyla?
Krai bahatyi, krai veselyi ty zanapastyla.

Oi de buly stepy, plavni – my vse razoraly,
A de buly divky harni – moskali zabraly.

Tut nam mylo tak zylosya, a ty razorala,
Ta i shche namy, kozakamy, Dunai zahatyla.

Oi hodi nam zurytysya, pora perestaty.
Chliba rosty, zupan shyty shche i rybu lovyty.

Hraite, hlopci, na sopilci, budem veselytys,
Z divchatamy zartuvaty, med-horilku pyty.
