Language: Ukrainian (Українська)
Oj Dnipre mij, Dnipre, shy`roky`j ta duzhy`j! Bagato ty`, bat`ku, u more nosy`v Kozacz`koyi krovi; shhe ponesesh, druzhe! Chervony`v ty` sy`nye, ta ne napoyiv; A syu nich up’yeshsya. Pekel`neye svyato Po vsij Ukrayini syu nich zareve; Poteche bagato, bagato, bagato Shlyaxets`koyi krovi. Kozak ozhy`ve; Ozhy`vut` get`many` v zolotim zhupani; Proky`net`sya dolya; kozak zaspiva: “Ni zhy`da, ni lyaxa”, a v stepax Ukrajny` — O bozhe mij my`ly`j — bly`sne bulava!
