Ot i upaly snihy,
Ot i nastaly morozy,
Ot i brakuye snahy
Zdaty na krashchi prohnozy.

Cholodno. Toskno. Zyma.
Viter hude. Zavyvaye.
Ot uze y mamy nema,
Ot uze bat'ka nemaye.

Nide sebe od zurby
V bilomu sviti podity.
Tilky y opory v sud'by,
Tilky y nadiyi – shcho dity.

Pryspiv

A dity davno pidrosly,
Shvydko nabralysya syly.
Ot i ne znayesh, koly
Yuni lita vidshumily.

Pryspiv

Shcho za litamy tuzyt',
Tuha nadiyi ne varta.
Ot i lyshayet'sya zyt'
Z hordoyu viroyu v zavtra!
