Kozackaya dolya

Oi, kozackaya dolya,
Ty yak, teye pole,
A hto tobi, zore,
Nese bil i hore?

Lyutym vorohom
Tudy-syudy orana
Kozackaya dolya!

Oi, dolya kozacka, –
Lysh postril znenacka,
Vpadesh, yak topolya
Bez zyttya ta doli.

Chorniyi vorony
Skljuyut ochi zoryani
Ta i posered polya!..

Oi, kozache, kozache,
A chym ty bahatyi,
Yak nemaye v tebe
Ni dvoru, ni haty?

Konem voronym
Na chotyry storony, –
Kozackaya volya.

Ridniyi lany vid
Basurman borony,
Kozackaya dolya!
