by Taras Hryhorovych Shevchenko (1814 - 1861)

Ponad polem ide
Language: Ukrainian (Українська) 
Ponad polem ide,
Ne pokosy klade,
Ne pokosy klade - hory.
Stohne zemlja, stohne more,
Stohne ta hude!

Kosarja unoči
Zustričajut' syči.
Tne kosar, ne spočyvaje
J ni na koho ne vvažaje,
Choč i ne prosy.

Ne blahaj, ne prosy,
Ne klepaje kosy;
Čy to pryhorod, čy horod,
Mov brytvoju, staryj holyt'
Use, ščo dasy.

Mužyka, j šynkarja,
J syrotu-kobzarja.
Pryspivuje staryj, kosyt',
Klade horamy pokosy,
Ne myna j carja.

I mene ne myne,
Na čužyni zotne,
Za rešotkoju zadavyt'.
Chresta nichto ne postavyt'
I ne pom'jane.
