by Taras Hryhorovych Shevchenko (1814 - 1861)
Ne ženysja na bahatij
Language: Ukrainian (Українська)
Ne ženysja na bahatij, Bo vyžene z chaty, Ne ženysja na ubohij, Bo ne budeš spaty. Oženys' na vol'nij voli, Na kozac'kij doli, Jaka bude, taka j bude, Čy hola, to j hola. Ta nichto ne dokučaje I ne rozvažaje — Čoho bolyt' i de bolyt', Nichto ne pytaje. Udvoch, kažut', i plakaty Mov lehše nenače; Ne poturaj: lehše plakat', Jak nichto ne bačyt'.
