Jak umru, to pochovajte Mene na mohyli, Sered stepu šyrokoho Na Vkraïni mylij: Ščob lany šyrokopoli I Dnipro, i kruči Bulo vydno, — bulo čuty Jak reve revučyj! Jak ponese z Ukraïny U synjeje more Krov vorožu, — otodi ja I lany, i hory — Vse pokynu i polynu Do samoho Boha Molytysja. A do toho — JA ne znaju Boha! Pochovajte ta vstavajte, Kajdany porvite, I vražoju, zloju krovju Volju okropite! I mene v sim'ï velykij, V sim'ï vol'nij, novij, Ne zabud'te pom'januty Nezlym, tychym slovom!
