Richka

Ziishovshy do richky,
My vodu torknuly rukamy.
Ziishovshy do richky,
My vodu torknuly rukamy.

U lypni tak ljubymo tilo vody,
shcho vtikaye miz palciv. (2)

Sto mlyniv bulo tam,
Sto mlynovyh kolis
I zeleni... zastoyani plesa,
de ryba lovylasya v ruky.
Ocheret, nache carstva, derzavy z latattya
Use bulo richka.

Tepli shovy v pisku zalyshalysya nashi i ne nashi,
hololy do ranku. (2)
Tepli shovy v pisku zalyshalysya nashi i ne nashi,

Skilky nas ne zbulos,
Perehodyachy mist ponad Poltvoyu,
Skilky... pereishlo cherez mist
I nazavshe propalo v hushchavyni pravoho bereha?..
Pravoho bereha...

Ziishovshy do richky,
My vodu torknuly rukamy.
Ziishovshy do richky,
My vodu torknuly rukamy.

U lypni tak ljubymo tilo vody,
