Moze ce krayina svitla ta zlotystoyi blakyti,
Moze tut ne chuly zrodu shcho buva nehoda v sviti?
Moze ce ne yasne nebo, moze ce ne yasne more?
Moze ce ne yasni chmarky i ne yasne sonce!

A by ya teper chotila, a v male chovence sisty!
A daleko na schid soncya zolotym chovnom poplysty!
A by ya teper chotila, a v male chovence sisty!
A daleko na schid soncya zolotym chovnom poplysty!

Pravyt' chtos' malym chovencem, stycha vesla pidiymaye
I zdayet'sya shcho z veselcya shchyre zoloto spadaye.
