by Oleksandr Ivanovych Kandyba (1878 - 1944), as Oleksandr Ivanovych Oles

Žyta!
Language: Ukrainian (Українська) 
Žyta! Pryhaduju...
Jak son... dytjačyj, zolotyj...
Schyljajut'sja i padajut' na zemlju,
I serce kolo nych kladu...
O dorohi moï!
O dorohi žyta
O dorohi moï žyta
O dorohi.
Kažit' meni zabutu kazku,
P’janit' mene svoïm dychannjam,
Ščob ja upyvsja i ne znav —
De zaraz ja,— čy na čužyni,
Čy tam, ach, tam, v kraju kochanim.
