by Taras Hryhorovych Shevchenko (1814 - 1861)

Tuman, tuman dolynoju
Language: Ukrainian (Українська) 
Tuman, tuman dolynoju,
Dobre žyty z rodynoju.
A šče lučše za horoju
Z družynoju molodoju.

Oj pidu ja temnym hajem,
Družynon'ky pošukaju.
De ty? De ty, ozovysja!
Pryjdy, serce, pryhornysja.

Numo, serce, lycjatysja
Ta poïdem vinčatysja,
Ščob ne znaly bat'ko j maty,
De my budem nočuvaty.

Odružylas', zachovalas',
Bodaj bula ne kochalas'.
Lehše bulo b samij žyty,
Jak z toboju v sviti bytys'.
