Letyat' holuby, letyat' biliyi,
To y ne holuby, to y ne biliyi.

A to anholy-chranyteli
Do dushi, tila prylitaly.

Prylitaly, dohlyadaly,
Yak dusha z tilom proshchalasya.

Yak dusha z tilom proshchalasya:
"Proshchay, tilo, tilo hryeshnoye!

Tilo hryeshnoye, beskonechnoye,
Sho v tobi probula, yak u t'mi prozyla.

Sho tebe, tilo, cherva stochyt',
A mene, dushu, rosa zmochyt'.

Sho tobi, tilo, v zemli prity,
A meni, dushi, na otvyet ity.

A meni, dushi, na otvyet ity
Do anhola-spasytelya."
