by Taras Hryhorovych Shevchenko (1814 - 1861)

Proščaj, svite, proščaj, zemle
Language: Ukrainian (Українська) 
Proščaj, svite, proščaj, zemle,
Nepryjaznyj kraju.
Moï muky, moï ljuti
V chmary zachovaju.

A ty, moja Ukraïno,
Beztalanna vdovo,
JA do tebe litatymu
Z chmary na rozmovu.

Na rozmovu tychosumnu,
Na radu z toboju;
Opivnoči, padatymu
Rjasnoju rosoju.
