Za bajrakom bajrak
Language: Ukrainian (Українська)
Za bajrakom bajrak, A tam step ta mohyla. Iz mohyly kozak Vstaje syvyj, pochylyj. Vstaje sam unoči, Ide v step, a jdučy Spiva, sumno spivaje: “Nanosyly zemli Ta j dodomu pišly, I nichto ne zhadaje. Nas tut trysta, jak sklo! Tovarystva ljahlo! I zemlja ne pryjmaje. Jak zaprodav het'man U jarmo chrystyjan, Nas poslav pohanjaty. Po svoïj po zemli Svoju krov rozlyly I zarizaly brata. Krovi brata vpylys' I otut poljahly U mohyli zakljatij”. Ta j zamovk, zažuryvs' I na spys pochylyvs'. Stav na samij mohyli, Na Dnipro pozyrav, Tjažko plakav, rydav, Syni chvyli holosyly. Z-za Dnipra iz sela Runa hajem hula, Treti pivni spivaly. Provalyvsja kozak, Strepenuvsja bajrak, A mohyla zastohnala.
