by Oleksandr Yakovych Konysky (1836 - 1900)

Сиротина
 (Sung text for setting by M. Lysenko)
 See original
Language: Ukrainian (Українська) 
Не той сиротина –
Кого рід не знає;
У кого хатини
Й худоби немає;

Не той сиротина –
Хто ходить в десятці,
У кого свитина –
Вся латка на латці;

Аби була в його
Голова та руки;
Любов до народу,
Волі і науки, –

Він не сиротина,
Він родичів має,
Він краю дитина,
I край його знає.
