Narod, yak mertvy`j, spy`t` bez sniv
Language: Ukrainian (Українська)
Narod, yak mertvy`j, Spy`t` bez sniv, A ya na liri grayu i vas, Nud`guyuchy`x paniv, Pisnyamy` rozvazhayu. Gan`ba meni, gan`ba meni! Zamovknit`, sribni struny`, Bo cily`j kraj kona v bagni, I skriz` merci i truny`. Ni! Xochu liru ya rozby`t`, Uzyaty` surmu midnu I neyu z gir merciv budy`t` I Ukrayinu bidnu. Ly`shu ya spivy` pro krasu, Zabudu vlasni zhali, I z gir vy`soky`x ponesu Narodovi skry`zhali.
