Hnavsja postom zasidatel'
Language: Ukrainian (Українська)
Hnavsja postom zasidatel'
Na čyjus' bidu.
Sered [ričky zalamavsja]1
Na tonkim l'odu.
B’jut'sja soc'ki j rozsyl'niï,
B’jut'sja rybaky.
Vodjat' šnury kraj prolomu,
Osti i haky.
Ale jde žydok ubohyj,
Pejsamy potrjas.
«Hyrsty-hyrsty, — stav pytaty,
Ščo take u vas?»
«Zasidatel' utopyvsja,
Hospody prosty!..
Chody, žydku, [chot']2 pomožeš
Šnura zavesty».
«Hyrsty! Naščo to šukaty
Ljuds'koï bidy?
Lyš karbovanec' nastavte —
Vyjde sam z vody!»
