by Taras Hryhorovych Shevchenko (1814 - 1861)

Огні горять, музи́ка грає
Language: Ukrainian (Українська) 
Our translations:  FRE
Огні горять, музи́ка грає,
Музи́ка плаче, завиває;
Алмазом добрим, дорогим
Сіяють очі молодії;
Витає радость і надія
В очах веселих, любо їм,
Очам негрішним, молодим.
І всі регочуться, сміються,
І всі танцюють. Тілько я,
Неначе заклятий, дивлюся
І нишком плачу, плачу я.
Чого ж я плачу? Мабуть, шкода,
Що без пригоди, мов негода,
Минула молодость моя.
