Tam, popid lisom, temnym borom
Povstanci nashi ydut'
I na rukach svoyich mohutnich
Tovarysha nesut'.

I znovu chmary potemnily,
A z morya yde tuman:
"Skazy, skazy, choho zadumavs'
Povstans'kyi otaman".

A toy tovarysh – chlopec' bravyi –
Povstanec' molodyi,
Vin cilyi krov’yu obillyatyi,
Z rozbytymy hrud'my.

I znovu chmary potemnily –
Strilyav nash kulemet,
Komuna bosa utikaye,
UPA ide vpered.

A yak vze vyishly na polyanu,
Skazaly chlopcyam: "Stat'".
Skazaly chlopcyam: "Stat' na strunko,
I na mohylu hlyan".

I znovu chmary potemnily,
A z morya yde tuman.
Skazy, skazy, choho zadumavs'
Povstans'kyi otaman.

"Spy, nash druze, chlopec' bravyi,
Vidvaznyi, molodyi,
Tebe my z chestyu pochovayem,
A zavtra pidem v biy".

I znovu chmary potemnily –
Strilyav nash kulemet.
Komuna bosa utikaye,
UPA ide vpered.
