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

U mene buv kochanyj, ridnyj kraj:
Stepy, lany, haï, sadky…
Brynily tam kvitky… 
Ni, to buv son!

V čužu ja dal'nju storonu zabriv
I suženu svoju tam striv.
V ïï očach buv raj…
Ni, to buv son!

Vona mene obnjala ščyro tak,
I ridnu movu ja počuv: “tebe kochaju ja!”
Ni! Ni! To  buv son!
