Ya ne klyav tebe, o zore
Language: Ukrainian (Українська) 
Ya ne klyav tebe, o zore,
Xoch yak sy`l`no zhal` mij ris;
Nasmix tvij i vlasne gore
YA terply`vo perenis.

Ta boyus` za tebe duzhe,
Bo lyubov – to msty`vy`j bog;
Yak odno yiyi znevazhy`t`,
Lyuby`t` msty`t`sya na obox.

Yak smiyuchy`s` ty` vby`vala
Chy`stuyu lyubov moyu,
Chy` ty` znala, shho vby`vayesh
Vse, chy`m v sviti ya zhy`yu?

Chy` ty` znala, shho rujnuyesh
Shhastya vlasnogo pidklad,
Te, chogo zhy`ttya tak malo
Zvy`klo vsyakomu vdilyat`?

Chy` ty` znala, shho nebavom,
Ot mov raz maxnut` perom,
Ty` ne raz zaplachesh girko
Za potoptany`m dobrom?
