Сонце заходить, гори чорніють,
Пташечка тихне, поле німіє.
Радіють люде, що одпочинуть,
А я дивлюся... і серцем лину
В темний садочок на Україну.
Лину я, лину, думу гадаю,
І ніби серце одпочиває.

Le soleil se couche

(Sung text translation for setting by K. Stetsenko)

See original

Language: French (Français) after the Ukrainian (Українська)

Le soleil se couche, les montagnes deviennent noires,
Le petit oiseau se tait, la plaine devient silencieuse,
Les gens se réjouissent que le sommeil approche,
Et je regarde... et je vole avec mon cœur
Vers un jardin sombre en Ukraine.
Je vole, je vole en pensant,
Et il semble que mon cœur se repose.
