Yarii, dushe

Yarii, dushe. Yarii, a ne rydai.
U bilii stuzi sonce Ukrayiny.
A ty shukai – chervonu tin kalyny
na chornyh vodah – tin yiyi shukai.
De horstka nas. Malesenka shopta
lyshe dlya molytov i spodivannya.
Usim nam smert sudylasya zarannya,
bo kalynova krov – taka z kruta. (2)

Vona taka z terpka, yak v nashyh zylah.
U syvii zaviryusi holosin
ci hrona bolju, shcho padut v hlybin,
bezsmertnoyu bidoyu okoshylys. (ost 2 ryadky – 3)
