by Mikhailo Petrovych Starytsky (1840 - 1904)

Shho ty` vchy`ny`v?
Language: Ukrainian (Українська) 
Shho ty` vchy`ny`v? Zhinocha chara
Tebe navik peremogla...
Ale yaka strashenna kara
Najkrashhu kvitku v nas vzyala...

I os` lezhy`sh teper bajduzhy`j,
Mov kolos skosheny`j z travy`,
Chomu zo mnoyu v Sichi, brate,
Ne polozhy`v ty` golovy`?..

Chogo zhy`ttya daremno straty`v?
Xiba na sviti vzhe nazhy`vs`?
Chogo, yak zradny`k, bat`ka j brata
Tut zaly`shy`v, posy`roty`v?..
Chogo, yak zradny`k, bat`ka j brata
Tut zaly`shy`v, posy`roty`v?..

Proshhaj, proshhaj,
Xoch zhal` mene gnity`t`,
Ale prosty`t` tebe ne mozhu!..
