Proty kruka kruk letyt'
Language: Ukrainian (Українська) after the Russian (Русский)
Proty kruka kruk letyt', Kruk do kruka tak kryčyt'. «Kruče, jak by nam te znaty, De obid budemo maty?» Kruk do kruka u odvit: Znaju ja, de nam obid. V čystim poli žovte žyto, Tam kozačen'ka ubyto. Chto i za ščo vbyv joho, Znaje lyš sokil joho, Kin' voronyj ta chiba šče Joho ljub’jatko huljašče. Sokil v pušči uletiv, Na konyka voroh siv; Ljubka myloho žde svoho – Ne vbytoho, a žyvoho».
