by Oleksandr Ivanovych Kandyba (1878 - 1944), as Oleksandr Oles

I vi pokinuli...
Language: Ukrainian (Українська) 
I vy pokynuly... y vy pišly...
I v najmy duši viddaly,
Y klad, ščo vam didy schovaly,
Na skybku chliba prominjaly...
Cyhany vy,
Cyhany vy!...

A tam v zemli, jakyj tam skarb ležav,
I skil'ky strun v sobi chovav...
Jaki b to zvuky rozitnulys',
Koly b vy dyvnych strun torknulys'!...
Ne varti vy,
Ne varti vy...

I časom čuje lis v pit'mi ničnij,
Jak des' na kobzi1 zolotij
Struna zastohne i porvet'sja,
I stohin skarhoju polljet'sja.
O de ž vy jest'?
O de ž vy jest'?
