Za selom sky`gly`t` viter psalom, Sy`ple ly`styam ziv' yaly`m dibrova I yak vse voseny` ni zhy`ttya ni besny`. I yak zavzhdy` vid tebe ni slova, Chy` zhy`vesh tam shhe ty`, Chy` pishla svity` ta yak ya, Shhob dorogu zguby`ty`, Shhob chekaty` na te chy`m des` viter mete, Shho lezhy`t` na shlyaxu vzhe uby`te. Oj verny`s` xoch na nich, xoch na den`, Xoch na my`t` do porozhnoyi xaty`, Xoch po te, shho ya mig ta ne vsty`g I chogo ne zumiv shhe skazaty`.
