by Oleksandr Ivanovych Kandyba (1878 - 1944), as Oleksandr Ivanovych Oles
Narod, jak mertvyj, spyt' bez sniv
Language: Ukrainian (Українська)
Narod, jak mertvyj, Spyt' bez sniv, A ja na liri hraju i vas, Nud'hujučych paniv, Pisnjamy rozvažaju. Han'ba meni, han'ba meni! Zamovknit', sribni struny, Bo cilyj kraj kona v bahni, I skriz' merci i truny. Ni! Choču liru ja rozbyt', Uzjaty surmu midnu I neju z hir merciv budyt' I Ukraïnu bidnu. Lyšu ja spivy pro krasu, Zabudu vlasni žali, I z hir vysokych ponesu Narodovi skryžali.
