Poletiv by-m na kray svita,
Yak viter, shcho v poli lita, hey,
V hameryc'kyi kray.
Lem zal my tya, moya chyzo
Solom’yana, zal.

Oy v nas prevelyka bida –
Ne mozna zarobyc' chliba, hey,
Mushu yichac' v dal.
Lem zal my vas, moyi verchy
Zeleniyi, zal.

Oy zal my vas, soyky syvi,
Shto-m vas plekav bez try zymy,
Oy zal my vas, zal.
Bo inacey by-m poyichav
V hameryc'kyi kray.

Oy zal my tya, moya strano,
De zyye z mamichkom nyano,
Oy zal my tya, zal.
Choc v nas bida – ne poyicham
V hameryc'kyi kray.
