Buvaje, inodi staryj
Language: Ukrainian (Українська)
Buvaje, inodi staryj Ne znaje sam, čoho zradije, Nenače stane molodyj, I zaspivaje... jak umije. I stane jasno pered nym Nadija anhelom svjatym, I zorja, molodost' joho, Vytaje veselo nad nym. Ščo ž se zrobylosja z starym, Čoho zradiv oce? Toho, Ščo, bačyte, staryj podumav Dobro jakes' komus' zrobyt'. A ščo ž, jak zrobyt'? Dobre žyt' Tomu, čyja duša i duma Dobro navčylasja ljubyt'! Ne raz takomu ljubo stane, Ne raz barvinkom zacvite. Otak, buvaje, v temnu jamu Svjateje sonečko zahljane, I v temnij jami, jak na te, Zelena travka poroste.
