by Taras Hryhorovych Shevchenko (1814 - 1861)
Oj odna ja, odna
Language: Ukrainian (Українська)
Oj odna ja, odna, Jak bylynočka v poli, Ta ne dav meni boh Ani ščastja, ni doli. Til'ko dav meni boh Krasu – kariï oči, Ta j ti vyplakala V samotyni divočij. Ani bratyka ja, Ni sestryčky ne znala, Mež čužymy zrosla, I zrosla – ne kochalas'! De ž družyna moja, De vy, dobriï ljude? Ïch nema, ja sama. A družyny j ne bude!
