by Oleksandr Yakovych Konysky (1836 - 1900)

Oj polja vy, polja!
Language: Ukrainian (Українська) 
Oj polja vy, polja!
Maty, ridna zemlja!
Skil'ky krovi i sliz
Po vas viter roznis!

Vin roznosyv kruhom,
I Dniprom, i Dnistrom,
V Čorne more kotyv,
Bosfor krov’ju poïv.

Od Karpat, za Kuban',
Poza Sejm, za Esman',
Po travi, po stepach,
U [horach, u jarach]1.

I na lysti v lisach
Blyščyt', nače rosa,
Naša rus'ka sl'oza,
Naša tjamka lycha.

I blyščyt', i horyt',
Žalem serce hnityt';
Ta sl'oza harjače
Dušu čulu peče.

Syvyj didu Dnipro!
Svoï vody davno
Ty vsi morju [viddav]2,
Sobi sliz ty nabrav.

I [u Dnister, i v]3 Prut
[Z hir]4 ne vody tečut';
[Ne]5 povin' to bula,
Ščo polja zalyla;

Ne vodoju zalyvs'
Dniprovoju naš nyz, –
To z narodnych iz sliz
Berehy rozijšlys'…

Dity rus'ki, idit',
Sl'ozy neni utrit'!
Nechaj promin' vesny
Zsušyt' sl'ozy stari.
