Gude vіter vel`mi v polі
Language: Ukrainian (Українська)
Gude vіter vel`mi v polі, Reve, lіs lamaє... Plache kozak moloden`kij, Dolyu proklinaє. Gude vіter vel`mi v polі, Reve, lіs lamaє... Kozak nudit`sya, serdeshnij, Shho robit`, ne znaє. Gude vіter vel`mi v polі, Reve, lіs lamaє... Kozak stogne, bіdolaxa, Sam sobі gadaє: «Revesh, vіtre, ta ne plachesh, Bo tobі ne tyazhko! Ti ne znaєsh v svіtі gorya, Tak tobі j ne vazhko. Tobі vse odno: chi v polі, Chi de lіs lamaєsh, Chi po moryu xvilyu gonish, Chi krishі zdiraєsh. Solom’yanі і zalіznі, Yaku de zustrіnesh, Snіgom lyudej zamіtaєsh, V polі yak zastignesh. Odіrvi zh od sercya tugu, Roznesi po polyu, Shhob ne plakavsya ya, bіdnij, Na neshhasnu dolyu. A koli cz`ogo ne zrobish - Kin` mene u more: Nexaj zo mnoyu potone Moє lyute gore!...»
