Chayka nad morem
Kryla vtomyla.
More – ne znaye,
More – shumyt'.
Boze miy mylyi,
Day meni syly
Vtomlenym sercem
Svit dolyubyt'!

Chmary nad morem
Nebo zakryly
Bereh nad morem
Znaye pro vse:
Tam, de my litom
V pari chodyly,
Viter osinniy
Lystya nese.

Tam, de prychaly,
Chayky krychaly.
Tam, de temniye,
Sonce cvilo.
Sliv ne stachaye,
Spohadiv malo,
Shchob rozkazaty
Yak nam bulo

Svit ne zakryly
Vtomleni kryla –
Vichni molytvy
V serci zvuchat'.
Boze miy mylyi,
Day meni syly
Ne dolyubyty,
To dospivat'.

Ne dolyubyty,
Ne dolyubyty,
Ne dolyubyty,
To dospivat'.
