Tam, de Yatran kruto v’yetsya [1]

Tam, de Yatran kruto v’yetsya,
Z-pid kamenya b’ye voda,
Tam divchyna vodu brala,
Chornobryva, moloda.

Ty, divchyno, ty shchaslyva:
V tebe batko, maty ye,
Rid velykyi, hata bila,
Vse, shcho v hati, to tvoye.

A ya bidnyi, beztalannyi;
Step shyrokyi – to z mii svat,
Shablya, ljulka – vsya rodyna,
Syvyi konyk – to z mii brat.

Oi yak tyazko zyty stalo,
Bo ti proklyati pany
Iz nas shkuru pozdyraly
Ta poshyly zupany.
