by Larisa Petrivna Kosach-Kvitka (1871 - 1913), as Lesya Ukrainka

Horyt' moje serce, joho zapalyla
Language: Ukrainian (Українська) 
Horyt' moje serce, joho zapalyla
Harjačaja iskra palkoho žalju.
Čomu ž ja ne plaču? Rjasnymy sl'ozamy
Čomu ja strašnoho vohnju ne zallju?

Duša moja plače, duša moja rvet'sja,
Ta sl'ozy ne rynut' potokom bujnym,
Meni do očej ne dochodjat' ti sl'ozy,
Bo sušyt' ïch tuha vohnem zapal'nym.

Chotila b ja vyjty u čysteje pole,
Prypasty lycem do syroï zemli
I tak zarydaty, ščob zori počuly,
Ščob ljudy vžachnulys' na sl'ozy moï.
