Oj try šljachy šyrokiï
Language: Ukrainian (Українська)
Oj try šljachy šyrokiï Dokupy zijšlysja. Na čužynu z Ukraïny Braty rozijšlysja. Pokynuly staru matir. Toj žinku pokynuv, A toj — sestru, a najmenšyj — Molodu divčynu. Posadyla stara maty Try jaseny v poli, A nevistka posadyla Vysoku topolju. Try javory posadyla Sestra pry dolyni... A divčyna zaručena — Červonu kalynu. Ne pryjnjalys' try jaseny, Topolja vsychala; Povsychaly try javory, Kalyna zov'jala. Ne vertajut'sja try braty, Plače stara maty, Plače žinka z ditočkamy — V potoplenij chati. Sestra plače, jde šukaty Brativ na čužynu... A divčynu zaručenu Kladut' v domovynu. Ne vertajut'sja try braty, Po svitu blukajut', A try šljachy šyrokiï Ternom zarostajut'.
