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

I vi pokinuli...
Language: Ukrainian (Українська) 
I vy` poky`nuly`... y` vy` pishly`...
I v najmy` dushi viddaly`,
Y` klad, shho vam didy` sxovaly`,
Na sky`bku xliba prominyaly`...
Czy`gany` vy`,
Czy`gany` vy`!...

A tam v zemli, yaky`j tam skarb lezhav,
I skil`ky` strun v sobi xovav...
Yaki b to zvuky` rozitnuly`s`,
Koly` b vy` dy`vny`x strun torknuly`s`!...
Ne varti vy`,
Ne varti vy`...

I chasom chuye lis v pit`mi nichnij,
Yak des` na kobzi1 zolotij
Struna zastogne i porvet`sya,
I stogin skargoyu pollyet`sya.
O de zh vy` yest`?
O de zh vy` yest`?
