Sonce zachodyt', hory čornijut', Ptašečka tychne, pole nimije. Radijut' ljude, ščo odpočynut', A ja dyvljusja... i sercem lynu V temnyj sadočok na Ukraïnu. Lynu ja, lynu, dumu hadaju, I niby serce odpočyvaje. Čornije pole, i haj, i hory, Na [synje nebo]1 vychodyt' zorja. Oj zore! zore! — i sl'ozy kanut'. Čy ty zijšla vže i na Ukrajni? Čy oči kari tebe šukajut' Na nebi synim? Čy zabuvajut'? Koly zabuly, bodaj zasnuly, Pro moju dolen'ku ščob i ne čuly.
