Vnochi na mogy`li vy`sokij stoyu
I dy`vlyus` navkrugy`:
Stepy` til`ky` mriyut` shy`roki
Ta z daleka mriyut` temni lugy`.

I kraj togo stepu zny`kaye
V tumanovy`x xvy`lyax yasny`x,
A misyacz` sriblom obly`vaye
Yix z neba v prominnyax svoyix.

I serce poly`nut` bazhaye
Tudy`, azh do krayu stepiv,
Tudy`, de shhe volya gulyaye,
De galas lyuds`ky`j ne guchniv.

Tam til`ky` kistky` ti kozachi
Ta krov’yu poly`ta zemlya,
Zdayet`sya meni, shho nenache
Zmicznila b tam sy`la moya.

Tam volyu didy` borony`ly`
I tam poxovaly` yiyi,
YA viryu: svyati yix mogy`ly`
Rozburkaly` b sy`ly` moyi.

I movchky` stoyu na mogy`li,
Stoyu i dy`vlyus` navkrugy`:
Biliyut` stepy`, yak bilily`,
Chorniyut` daleki lugy`...
