Letiv voron cherez sad zenenyy

Lyrics

Letiv voron cherez sad zenenyy,
Ta y stav kalinush(k)u lamat'.

Lyubiv kozak molodu dyevchynu,
Ta y ne dumav yiye brat'.

A ta divchina bula ne durnaya,
Ta y stala yoho charuvat'.

Pricharuvala yomu ruki y nohi,
Ta y stala yoho pitat':

– Choho, druh moy, druh moy rozlyubeznyy,
Choho ty tak zhe zabolyev?

Chy y od medu, chy y od horyelochky,
Chy y od nashykh lyuboshchey?

– Sam ya ne znayu, pochemu stradayu,
Maybut', pryydet'sya pomirat'.
