Language: Ukrainian (Українська)
Yakby` meni cherevy`ky`, To pishla b ya na muzy`ky`... Goren`ko moye! Cherevy`kiv nemaye, A muzy`ka graye! graye! Zhalyu zavdaye! Oj pidu ya bosa polem, Poshukayu svoyu dolyu... Dolen`ko moya! Glyan` na mene, chornobry`vu, Moya dole nepravdy`va... Beztalanna ya! Divchatochka na muzy`kax U chervony`x cherevy`kax... YA svitom nuzhu. Bez rozkoshi, bez lyubovi Znoshu moyi chorni brovy`, U najmax znoshu!
