Oj čoho ty počornilo
Language: Ukrainian (Українська)
Oj čoho ty počornilo, Zeleneje pole? — Počornilo ja od krovi Za vol'nuju volju. Kruh mistečka Berestečka Na čotyry myli Mene slavni zaporožci Svoïm trupom vkryly. Ta šče mene hajvorony Ukryly z pivnoči... Kljujut' oči kozac'kiï, A trupu ne chočut'. Počornilo ja, zelene, Ta za vašu volju... JA znov budu zelenity, A vy vže nikoly Ne vernetesja na volju, Budete oraty Mene stycha ta orjučy Dolju proklynaty.
