Buvaye, inodi stary`j
Language: Ukrainian (Українська)
Buvaye, inodi stary`j Ne znaye sam, chogo zradiye, Nenache stane molody`j, I zaspivaye... yak umiye. I stane yasno pered ny`m Nadiya angelom svyaty`m, I zorya, molodost` jogo, Vy`taye veselo nad ny`m. Shho zh se zroby`losya z stary`m, Chogo zradiv oce? Togo, Shho, bachy`te, stary`j podumav Dobro yakes` komus` zroby`t`. A shho zh, yak zroby`t`? Dobre zhy`t` Tomu, chy`ya dusha i duma Dobro navchy`lasya lyuby`t`! Ne raz takomu lyubo stane, Ne raz barvinkom zaczvite. Otak, buvaye, v temnu yamu Svyateye sonechko zaglyane, I v temnij yami, yak na te, Zelena travka poroste.
