Za kordonamy ves' chas
Shchos' nove chekaye nas,
Inshi ochi v pershyi raz.
Chy ocinyat' vony nas?

Pryspiv:
Yakshcho ty chochesh
Sebe vidchuvaty
Usyudy, yak zirka moriv,
Ty mayesh dorohu
Svoyu vidshukaty
U ridniy krayini – povir!

Za kordonamy pobachyv
Inshyi svit, novych lyudey;
Moze, diysno v chomus' krashchych,
Ta chuzych, yak nich i den.

Znayu ya, shcho ty chuzyncem
V yichnim sviti ye zavzdy,
Ta talant styraye rivni
I kordony v usi chasy.
