Hostri spysy vorozenkiv
Mayoryat' u poli –
Chas nastav nam, kozachenky,
Vidstoyaty volyu.

Pryspiv:
Hey-hey-hey-hey!
Nas ne zachopysh znenac'ka –
Bat'kivs'kyi vyshkil ne vhas!
Doblesne viys'ko moye slobozans'ke,
Sluchay starshyny nakaz!

Nepochytni, nache skeli,
Slobozans'ki lavy –
U boyach za ridni zemli
Zdobuvayut' slavu!

Pryspiv:
Hey-hey-hey-hey!
Surmy nad polem zahraly,
Chas u pochid vyrushat'!
Budemo nashu kozac'ku derzavu
Vid vorohiv zachyshchat'!

(Variant:
Hey-hey-hey-hey!
Sunet'sya lava na lavu –
Shabli na sonci blyshchat'.
Budemo nashu kozac'ku derzavu
Vid vorohiv zachyshchat'!)

Vid mohutnich lav kozac'kych
Voroh utikaye –
Dobru kray nash slobozans'kyi
Oboronu maye!

Pryspiv:
De z to teper vorozenky?
Mertvi lezat' u stepu.
Hey! Zustrichay syna lyuboho, nenko,
Vin peremohu zdobuv!

Chay po vsich svitach lunaye
Muzniy spiv kozac'kyi,
Chay nedolya obmynaye
Kray nash slobozans'kyi.

Pryspiv:
Hey-hey-hey-hey!
My kozaky slobozans'ki,
Dolya ob’yednaye nas –
Neperemozni, zavzyati, chvac'ki –
U borot'bi povsyakchas!
