Khadyv chumachynanko siem hod pa Danu

Lyrics

Khadyv chumachynanko siem hod pa Danu, oi,
Da y ne bulo zh pryhodanki ad rodu yemu.

Sluchylas pryhodanka v vosmamu hadu, oi,
Da y valy zanepaly, sam chumak zasnuv.

Zasnuv chumachynanko, zasnuv da y lezhyt, oi,
Da y nekto zh ne pytaie, shcho v yoho y bolyt.

Baliat ruchky, nozhenki, balyt halava, oi,
Da y biednaia zh halovanka, sho y rodu nema.

Tolko v noho zh rodu – tavarysh radnoi, oi.
– Da y tovaryshu, bratiku, paretui mene.

Tavaryshu, bratiku, paretui menia, oi,
Da y pradai mai sanachky, pakhavai menia.

Pradai mai sanachky, pokhavai menia, oi,
Y a syvyie volyky zabyrai sabie.

Da y reknuly volyky, stoia u yermie, oi,
Da y zazvanyly zvonyky vso zh pa chumakie.
