Choho meni tyazko, choho meni nudno,
Choho serce plache, rydaye, krychyt',
Mov dytya holodne? Serce moye trudne,
Choho ty bazayesh, shcho v tebe bolyt'?
Chy pyty, chy yisty, chy spatonky chochesh?
Zasny, moye serce, naviky zasny,
Nevkryte, rozbyte – a lyud navisnyi
Nechay skazeniye... Zakryi, serce, ochi.
