by Spyrydon Feodosyevych Cherkasenko (1876 - 1940)

Gajdamaky`
Language: Ukrainian (Українська) 
Oj, nashho zh vy`, slavni braty` gajdamaky`,
Posiya_ly` trupom stepy` ta bajraky`?
Gej, nevole, nasha dole!
Ne tak ti bajraky`, yak umans`ke vijs`ko,
Naletily` vranci - do vechora chy`sto!

Zapalaly` zamky`, zapalaly` vezhi,
Tancyuvaly` pany` v chervonij pozhezhi.
Gej, nevole, nasha dole!
Bodaj zhe, vrazhe, tobi ne vstavaty`,
Na nashim vesilli povik ne gulyaty`!

Ne plach, ne zhury`sya, Ukrayino-maty`,
Polyagly` naviky` vorizhen`ky` klyati.
Gej, nevole, nasha dole!
Sy`ny` moyi lyubi, sy`ny` gajdamaky`,
Zaczvitut` v rozkoshax chervoniyi maky`. 

Zapy`shayut` bujno ryasni voli kvity`
I zgadayut` slavny`x ly`czars`kiyi dity`.
Gej, nevole, nasha dole!
Braty`-gajdamaky` bardzo dobre staly`,
Za ridnu Vkrayinu golovy` poklaly`.
