Nemov sriblyaste chtos' porvav namysto
Yaskravo syayut' v temryavi zirky!
Dyvlyus' na nashe dyvovyzne misto,
Yomu daly im’ya na chest' riky!

Maydan Svobody sonce zustrichaye,
Derzprom hotovyi do vazlyvych sprav,
Metro hostynno dveri vidchynyaye,
Vitaye vsich onovlenyi vokzal!

Pryspiv:
Charkiv ne lyubyty ne mozna,
Vin zminyvsya v roky.
Vsi krayiny mayut' stolycyu –
Persha stolycya – krashcha za vsi!

Sobor Uspens'kyi znaye vse – vse bachyt',
I Opernyi Sums'kiy vsyu nich spivav!
"Dzerkalnyi strumin" znovu, niby, plache
A sad Shevchenka shchos' zasumuvav!
