by Taras Hryhorovych Shevchenko (1814 - 1861)

У неволі
 (Sung text for setting by M. Lysenko)
 Matches original text
Language: Ukrainian (Українська) 
Ой гляну я, подивлюся
На той степ, на поле;
Чи не дасть Бог милосердий
Хоч на старість волі.
Пішов би я в Україну,
Пішов би додому,
Там би мене привітали,
Зраділи б старому;
Там би я спочив хоч мало,
Молившися Богу,
Там би я... Та шкода й гадки,
Не буде нічого.
Як же його у неволі
Жити без надії?
Навчіть мене, люди добрі,
А то одурію...
