V grudyax vogon`, xolodne povivannya Vzhe chuyu smerti nad cholom… I znov zry`na pekucheye py`tannya, Yaky`m zasnuty` mayu snom? Chy` v tu strashnu, spodivanu xvy`ly`nu, Koly` perervet`sya zhy`ttya, Vse, shho lyuby`v, i sam cilkom ya zgy`nu? Pogasnut` vraz vsi pochuttya? Chy` ta lyubov perezhy`ve mogy`lu, I bude znov moya dusha strazhdat` Za svij narod, za Ukrayinu my`lu, Pro neyi dumaty`, gadat`? Nad selamy` obderty`my` litaty` I lyudu, v temryavim kutku, Na borot`bu [vidvagu nady`xaty`]1 J budy`ty` sy`lu v spovy`tku? O, koly` tak – v obijmy`shha xolodni Xoch zaraz lyazhu u trunu, I bez [zhalyu]2 u bezvisni bezodni Na viky` vichniyi pirnu!
