from Volkslieder (Folksongs)
Translation by Yakiv Fedorovych Golovatsky (1814 - 1888)

Ой сумна, сумна, темна ніченька
Language: Ukrainian (Українська)  after the Serbian (Српски) 
Ой сумна, сумна, темна ніченька,
А ще сумніше моє серденько.
Журюся, тужу, нікому сказати,
Немає неньки жаль розважати.
Ні в мене неньки, щоб притулити,
Ні в мене сестри, щоб потужити.
Один миленький і той далеченький.
Заки приїде північ минає,
Заки прибуде півні співають.
Раз поцілує стане світати,
Час вже, миленька, домів вертати,
Час вже вертати.
