У мене був коханий рідний край | У мене був коханий, рідний край

Translation by Mykola Vitaliyovych Lysenko (1842 - 1912)

У мене був коханий рідний край

Language: Ukrainian (Українська) after the German (Deutsch)

У мене був коханий, рідний край:
Степи, лани, гаї, садки…
Бриніли там квітки… 
Ні, то був сон!

В чужу я дальню сторону забрів
І сужену свою там стрів.
В її очах був рай…
Ні, то був сон!

Вона мене обняла щиро так,
І рідну мову я почув: “тебе кохаю я!”
Ні! Ні! То  був сон!
