Yakby` vy` znaly`
Language: Ukrainian (Українська)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Yakby` vy` znaly` yasni ziron`ky`,
Yaki chorni xmary` grud` moyu spovy`ly`.
Vy` b usi napevno do mene skoty`ly`s`
Shhob proyasny`ty` t`mu v moyij dushi.

Yakby` vy` znaly` dribni ptashechky`,
Yake ly`xo j gore dushu zasmuty`ly`
Vy` b usi napevno do mene zletily`
Zakoly`saty` bil` moyij dushi.

A ly`sh vona pry`chy`na vs`omu ly`xu,
Yaka b odna spasty` mene mogla
Slivcya nemaye na moyu potixu
Vona na vse bajduzhe mov skala.
