by Taras Hryhorovych Shevchenko (1814 - 1861)

Kochajtesja, čornobryvi
Language: Ukrainian (Українська) 
Kochajtesja, čornobryvi,
Ta ne z moskaljamy,
Bo moskali čuži ljude,
Robljat' lycho z vamy.
Moskal' ljubyt' žartujučy,
Žartujučy kyne;
Pide v svoju moskovščynu,
A divčyna hyne...
Jakby sama, šče b ničoho,
A to j stara maty,
Ščo pryvela na svit Božyj,
Musyt' pohybaty.
Serce v’jane, spivajučy,
Koly znaje za ščo;
Ljude sercja ne pobačat',
A skažut': ledaščo!
Kochajtesja ž, čornobryvi,
Ta ne z moskaljamy,
Bo moskali: čuži ljude,
Znuščajut'sja vamy.
