Meni odnakovo
Language: Ukrainian (Українська)
Meni odnakovo, čy budu JA žyt' v Ukraïni, čy ni. Čy chto zhadaje, čy zabude Mene v snihu na čužyni – Odnakovisin'ko meni. V nevoli vyris mež čužymy, I, ne oplakanyj svoïmy, V nevoli, plačučy, umru, I vse z soboju zaberu, Maloho slidu ne pokynu Na našij slavnij Ukraïni, Na našij – ne svoïj zemli. I ne pom'jane bat'ko z synom, Ne skaže synovi: “Molys', Molysja, synu: za Vkraïnu Joho zamučyly kolys'”. Meni odnakovo, čy bude Toj syn molytysja, čy ni… Ta ne odnakovo meni, Jak Ukraïnu zliï ljude Pryspljat', lukavi, i v ohni Ïï, okradenuju, zbudjat'… Och, ne odnakovo meni.
