Poza ty`xy`my` vodamy`
Sumno ta j smerklosya;
[O]1, yak golos mezh goramy`,
Shhastya rozby`losya!

Lety`t` voron [chornokry`ly`j,
Za ny`m]2 zagudilo,
Shhastya [moye, garazd my`ly`j]3
Naviky` zny`dilo.

Tyazhko golubu malomu
Gory` pereby`ty`,
Oj, shhe tyazhche bezridnomu
Na sim sviti zhy`ty`.

Zakuj my` sumnen`ko:
Naj rozpuka [ta j lyutaya]5
Vy`rve my` serden`ko.
