Gude viter vel'mi v poli
Language: Ukrainian (Українська)
Gude viter vel'mi v poli, Reve, lis lamaє... Plače kozak moloden'kij, Dolju proklinaє. Gude viter vel'mi v poli, Reve, lis lamaє... Kozak nudit'sja, serdešnij, Ščo robit', ne znaє. Gude viter vel'mi v poli, Reve, lis lamaє... Kozak stogne, bidolacha, Sam sobi gadaє: «Reveš, vitre, ta ne plačeš, Bo tobi ne tjažko! Ti ne znaєš v sviti gorja, Tak tobi j ne važko. Tobi vse odno: či v poli, Či de lis lamaєš, Či po morju chvilju goniš, Či kriši zdiraєš. Solom’jani i zalizni, Jaku de zustrineš, Snigom ljudej zamitaєš, V poli jak zastigneš. Odirvi ž od sercja tugu, Roznesi po polju, Ščob ne plakavsja ja, bidnij, Na neščasnu dolju. A koli c'ogo ne zrobiš - Kin' mene u more: Nechaj zo mnoju potone Moє ljute gore!...»
