Language: Ukrainian (Українська)
Za dumoju duma rojem vylitaje, Odna davyt' serce, druha rozdyraje, A tretjaja tycho, tychesen'ko plače U samomu serci, može, j Boh ne bačyt'. Komu ž ïï pokažu ja, I chto tuju movu Pryvitaje, uhadaje Velykeje slovo? Vsi ohluchly — pochylylys' V kajdanach... bajduže... Ty smiješsja, a ja plaču, Velykyj mij druže. A ščo vrodyt' z toho plaču? [Bohylova, brate...]1 Ne zarevut' v Ukraïni Vol'niï harmaty. Ne zariže bat'ko syna, Svojeï dytyny, Za čest', [slavu]2, za braterstvo, Za volju Vkraïny. Ne zariže — vykochaje Ta j prodast' v riznycju Moskalevi. Ce b to, bačyš, Lepta udovyci Prestolovi- otečestvu Ta nimoti plata. Nechaj, brate. A my budem Smijat'sja ta plakat'.
