Oy, lezyt' kobzar v dalekiy storoni,
Svichechka u ruci, a tilo u truni.
Hospody, pomyluy, zi svyatymy upokoy!
Hospody, pomyluy, zi svyatymy upokoy!

Nizenki svoyi shche ne nachodyv,
Ruchechky svoyi shche ne natrudyv.
Hospody, pomyluy, zi svyatymy upokoy!
Hospody, pomyluy, zi svyatymy upokoy!

Skilky dusham nezryachym ochi vidkryvav!
A v serca zviryachi mylist' pidsmyryav!
Hospody, pomyluy, zi svyatymy upokoy!
Hospody, pomyluy, zi svyatymy upokoy!
