by Taras Hryhorovych Shevchenko (1814 - 1861)
Ой Дніпре мій, Дніпре, широкий та дужий!
Language: Ukrainian (Українська)
Ой Дніпре мій, Дніпре, широкий та дужий! Багато ти, батьку, у море носив Козацької крові; ще понесеш, друже! Червонив ти синє, та не напоїв; А сю ніч уп’єшся. Пекельнеє свято По всій Україні сю ніч зареве; Потече багато, багато, багато Шляхетської крові. Козак оживе; Оживуть гетьмани в золотім жупані; Прокинеться доля; козак заспіва: “Ні жида, ні ляха”, а в степах Украйни — О боже мій милий — блисне булава!
