Oj, chogo ty`, topolen`ko
Language: Ukrainian (Українська)
Oj, chogo ty`, topolen`ko, Ne czvitesh? Chom pozhovklu golovon`ku, Xy`ly`sh, gnesh? Chom z vitramy` parubkamy`, Ne shumy`sh? A zmuchena zasmuchena, Vse movchy`sh? Til`ky` chasom do xmaron`ky` Skazhesh ty`— “Oj, xmaron`ko, oj charon`ko Ne lety`. Zirvy` z mene ce ly`styachko, Cze ly`styachko-namy`stechko Bez krasy`. U ridnuyu rody`non`ku, Na my`luyu Vkrayinon`ku Vidnesy`!...”
