Oj vyostrju tovaryša
Language: Ukrainian (Українська)
Oj vyostrju tovaryša, Zasunu v chaljavu Ta pidu šukaty pravdy I tijeï slavy. Oj pidu ja ne luhamy I ne berehamy, A pidu ja ne šljachamy, A ponad šljachamy. Ta spytaju v žydovyna, V bahatoho pana, [U]1 šljachtyča pohanoho V pohanim župani I u čencja, jak trapyt'sja, Nechaj ne huljaje, A Svjate Pys'mo čytaje, Ljudej poučaje, Ščob brat brata ne rizaly Ta ne okradaly, Ta v moskali vdovyčenka Ščob ne oddavaly.
