V dykim poli

Den i nich navprostec v polya
Ya idu odyn, ya topchu rillya.
Obrii soncem svit zaslipyv,
Ya dyvljus navkruh ta nema stepiv...

Chuty pisnyu tyho v Dykim poli –
To ptahy spivayut sutinkovi,
Viter zene hvyli kovylovi:
Nemaye bilshe miscya v sviti kozakovi.
Chuty pisnyu tyho v Dykim poli –
To ptahy spivayut sutinkovi,
Viter zene hvyli kovylovi:
Nema bilshe shchastya v sviti bilshe kozakovi.

I viter dme, v noho stilky syl,
Ya by tak hotiv, ya by tez hotiv!
Zemle, de z vsi tvoyi syny?
Ya krychu shchosyl ta nema luny...
