by Taras Hryhorovych Shevchenko (1814 - 1861)

Понад полем іде
 (Sung text for setting by M. Lysenko)
 Matches original text
Language: Ukrainian (Українська) 
Понад полем іде,
Не покоси кладе,
Не покоси кладе - гори.
Стогне земля, стогне море,
Стогне та гуде!

Косаря уночі
Зустрічають сичі.
Тне косар, не спочиває
Й ні на кого не вважає,
Хоч і не проси.

Не благай, не проси,
Не клепає коси;
Чи то пригород, чи город,
Мов бритвою, старий голить
Усе, що даси.

Мужика, й шинкаря,
Й сироту-кобзаря.
Приспівує старий, косить,
Кладе горами покоси,
Не мина й царя.

І мене не мине,
На чужині зотне,
За решоткою задавить.
Хреста ніхто не поставить
І не пом'яне.
