Oy, pid Dubom-Starodubom lezyt' Alatar-
Kamin, shcho v sobi bezsmertya maye dar
I usim boham daruye Alatar sylu svoyu
I teplo svoye daruye vs'omu Iriyu.

Alatar, Alatar, koly mayu dumy ya sumni
Pokladu ruky na tebe, sylu day meni.

I shchoroku u zymoviy u pori
Spochyvaye Perun na tim Alatari
I usya zemlya chekaye, koly skinchyt'sya zyma,
Bo nema Soncya na nebi, i tepla nema.

Oy zbyrut'sya u poli volchvy navesni
Zaspiviayut' vony boham svoyi pisni
I usi pisni zlitayut' ppryamo do Alatarya
I zyttyam cey kamin syaye yak vnochi zorya
