Language: Ukrainian (Українська)
Gnavsya postom zasidatel`
Na chy`yus` bidu.
Sered [richky` zalamavsya]1
Na tonkim l`odu.
B’yut`sya socz`ki j rozsy`l`niyi,
B’yut`sya ry`baky`.
Vodyat` shnury` kraj prolomu,
Osti i gaky`.
Ale jde zhy`dok ubogy`j,
Pejsamy` potryas.
«Gy`rsty`-gy`rsty`, — stav py`taty`,
Shho take u vas?»
«Zasidatel` utopy`vsya,
Gospody` prosty`!..
Xody`, zhy`dku, [xot`]2 pomozhesh
Shnura zavesty`».
«Gy`rsty`! Nashho to shukaty`
Lyuds`koyi bidy`?
Ly`sh karbovanecz` nastavte —
Vy`jde sam z vody`!»
