by Volodymyr Mikhaylovych Navrotsky (1847 - 1882)
Do lastivky
Language: Ukrainian (Українська)
Ljuba lastivočko, mylyj ptašku mij, Ty mene ne kydaj, ne lety v vyrij! Pidnesys' do chmary, poverny dolom Ponad našym krajem, nad našym selom! Do moho vikoncja, spustys', prylyny, I radisnu pisnju meni zadzvony, I holoskom svoïm [tuhu mni]1 rozvij — Zaždy, ščebetuško, ne lety v vyrij! A lastivka kaže: „Ne vderžyš mene! [Mene taja]2 tuha z vikoncja žene. A ljude lychiï honjat' zponad strich, I v chmarach šče čuty [ïch pakisnyj]3 smich. Ni voli, ni [myru, ni soncja — tvij]4 kraj! Ne haj mene, druže, — ja [leču]5 u raj!“
