Kryache voron
Language: Ukrainian (Українська) 
Kryache voron chorny`j, kryache,
Na mogy`li zavy`vaye.
Ukrayina stogne, plache,
Sliz`my` dribny`my` ry`daye.

Gej! Vy` my`li kozachen`ky`!
Slavy` dobroyi shukaly`,
Ne dovelos` pogulyaty`
U nevil`ny`ky` popaly`...

Vashi biliyi ruchen`ky`
U kajdany` zakuvaly`,
Sy`lu j slavu vashu dobru
Zliyi turky` zapsuvaly`.

Ne dostalo, brattya, voli
Vorogam svoyim pomsty`ty`s`...
Dovelosya u kajdanax
Vik girky`j, tyazhky`j prozhy`ty`.

Stognut`, tuzhat` kozachen`ky`,
Nen`ku ridnu spomy`nayut`,
Spomy`nayut` brativ my`ly`x,
Shho u Sichi tam gulyayut`.

Kryache voron chorny`j, kryache,
Pugach sy`vy`j zavy`vaye.
Ukrayina stogne, plache,
Sliz`my` dribny`my` ry`daye.
