Kil`ko dum tu peresny`los`
V rannij chas vesny`,
Shho pisen` zhurly`vy`x ly`los`,
Chuvyes`, Otche, Ty`!

I ti rozhi, shho konaly`
V lyutij buri shum,
Ptashky` ti, shho mov ry`daly`
J temny`x boriv sum.

I ti zori, shho yasnily`
Bleskom i krasov,
Ty`syachamy` iskor tlily`
J gasly` nadimnov, 

I ti mryaky`, shho pokry`ly` 
Gory`, ny`z i lug, 
I mov perlamy` Vkrasy`ly` 
Nizhny`j czvitiv pux:

Chuly`, shho dusha spivala
V rannij chas vesny`;
No chom zhalem pisn` drozhala,
Znayesh, Otche, Ty`!
