I bahata ja
Language: Ukrainian (Українська)
I bahata ja, I vrodlyva ja, Ta ne maju sobi pary, Beztalanna ja. Tjažko, tjažko v sviti žyt' I nikoho ne ljubyt', Aksamytovi župany Odynokij nosyt'. Poljubylas' by ja, Odružylas' by ja Z čornobryvym syrotoju, Ta ne volja moja! Bat'ko, maty ne spljat', Na storoži stojat', Ne puskajut' samu mene U sadočok huljat'. A choč pustjat', to z nym, Z prepohanym starym, Z moïm neljubom bahatym, Z moïm vorohom zlym!
