Ya zapytuyu v sebe, pytayu u vas, u lyudey,
Ya pytayu v knyzok, rozzyrayus' na kozniy storinci:
De toy rik, de toy proklyatyi tyzden i den,
Koly my, ukrayinci, zabuly, shcho my ukrayinci?

I shcho ye v nas dusha, povna vlasnych chesnot i shchedrot,
I shcho ye u nas duma, yaka shche od Baydy nam v’yet'sya,
I shcho my na Vkrayini – taky ukrayins'kyi narod,
A ne prosto naselennya, yak ce u zvitach dayet'sya.

I shcho chmil nash – u pisni, a ne u barylach vyna.
I shcho shchedrist' – v sercyach, a ne lysh u kramnychnych vitrynach.
I shcho ye u nas mova, i shcho ukrayins'ka vona,
Bez yakoyi nash kray – terytoriya, a ne Vkrayina.

Ya do sebe kaze i do koznoho z vas – Hovory!
Hovorymo usi, choch my y dobre navchylys' movchaty!
Zapytayte u sebe: vidkoly, z yakoyi pory
Pochaly ukrayinci sebe u sobi zabuvaty?

Zapytaymo y pro te, yak my druzno diyshly do buttya,
U yakomu svidomosti nashiy zbahnuty nezmoha,
Chym solodshyi od medu nam vydavsya chad zabuttya
Ridnych sliv, i pisen, i dzerel, i stezok vid poroha.

Ukrayinci moyi! To vkrayinci my z vamy, chy yak?
Chy v "moholach" i vmerty sudyla nam dolya pychata?
Chy v mohyly y zabraty sudylos' nam nash perelyak,
Shcho rozcviv nam u dumach smyrennistyu "menshoho brata"?

Ukrayinci moyi! Yak hirchat' meni vlasni slova...
Znayu dobre, shcho y vam vony tez – ne solodki hostynci.
Ale mushu kazaty, bo serce, mov svichka, splyva,
Koly bachu, yak lyuto sebe znevazayut' vkrayinci.

Ya vze y sam laden movyt': "Vono tobi treba?.. Sterpy!"
Tilky z chochu, vkrayinci, spytaty u vas nelukavo:
Rady koho Shevchenkovi yty bulo v Ors'ki stepy?
Rady koho chovaty sviy bil za soldats'ku chalyavu?

To chiba z ne vpade, ne zakotyt'sya nasha zorya,
I chiba ne zotliye na tlin ukrayinstvo miz namy,
Koly navit' na zharyshchi doli y zori Kobzarya
My i dosi spokiyno sebe pochuvayem chochlamy?

Ukrayinci moyi! Day vam Boze i shchastya, i syl.
Mozna zyty y chochlom, i ne zhirkne vid toho chlibyna.
Tilky chto z kolys' nebo nachylyt' do Vashych mohyl,
Yak ne zradzena vamy, znevazena vamy Vkrayina...
