Banduryste, orle syzyi!
Dobre tobi, brate:
Mayesh kryla, mayesh sylu,
Ye koly litaty.

Teper letysh v Ukrayinu –
Tebe vyhlyadayut'.
Poletiv by za toboyu,
Ta chto z pryvitaye?

Tam poviye buynesenkyi,
Yak brat, zahovoryt';
Tam v shyrokim poli volya;
Tam synyeye more.

More hraye, vyhravaye,
Tuhu rozhanyaye;
Tam mohyla v chystim poli
Z vitrom rozmovlyaye.

Banduryste, orle syzyi!
Dobre tobi, brate:
Mayesh kryla, mayesh sylu,
Ye koly litaty.
