by Taras Hryhorovych Shevchenko (1814 - 1861)
Jakby meni čerevyky
Language: Ukrainian (Українська)
Jakby meni čerevyky, To pišla b ja na muzyky... Horen'ko moje! Čerevykiv nemaje, A muzyka hraje! hraje! Žalju zavdaje! Oj pidu ja bosa polem, Pošukaju svoju dolju... Dolen'ko moja! Hljan' na mene, čornobryvu, Moja dole nepravdyva... Beztalanna ja! Divčatočka na muzykach U červonych čerevykach... JA svitom nužu. Bez rozkoši, bez ljubovi Znošu moï čorni brovy, U najmach znošu!
