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

Zhy`ta!
Language: Ukrainian (Українська) 
Zhy`ta! Pry`gaduyu...
Yak son... dy`tyachy`j, zoloty`j...
Sxy`lyayut`sya i padayut` na zemlyu,
I serce kolo ny`x kladu...
O dorogi moyi!
O dorogi zhy`ta
O dorogi moyi zhy`ta
O dorogi.
Kazhit` meni zabutu kazku,
P’yanit` mene svoyim dy`xannyam,
Shhob ya upy`vsya i ne znav —
De zaraz ya,— chy` na chuzhy`ni,
Chy` tam, ax, tam, v krayu koxanim.
