Mynuly lita molodiï
Language: Ukrainian (Українська)
Mynuly lita molodiï, Cholodnym vitrom od nadiï Uže povijalo. Zyma! Sydy odyn v cholodnij chati, Nema z kym tycho rozmovljaty, Ani poradytys'. Nema, Anikohisin'ko nema! Sydy ž odyn, poky nadija Oduryt' durnja, osmije... Morozom oči okuje, A dumy hordiï rozvije, Jak tu snižynu po stepu! Sydy ž odyn sobi v kutku. Ne ždy vesny — svjatoï doli! Vona ne zijde vže nikoly Sadočok tvij pozelenyt', Tvoju nadiju onovyt'! I dumu vol'nuju na volju Ne pryjde vypustyt'... Sydy I ničohisin'ko ne ždy!..
