Yak harnen'ko sontse skhodyt' –
V nashoy kameri tyemno,
/ Den' i nochchyu vartovyye
Sterezhut' moye vikno. / 2
Sterezhyte, berezhyte,
A ya ’dsyuda ne vtechu,
/ Oy yak khochet'sya na volyu,
Ya kaydanov ne porvu. / 2
Oy vy, tyurmy zalyeznyye,
Vi, stalevy storozha,
/ Ne mozhu ya vas porvaty
Bez dolota, bez nozha. / 2
Odnu bramu prolomali,
A v druhuyu uvoyshly,
/ Vzyaly mene pyd ruchen'ky –
Da y na volyu vyvely. / 2
Oy yak vyyshov ya na volyu,
Yak harnen'ko vse tsvite,
/ Svoyi lita molodyye
Zmarnuvav ya y u tyurme. / 2
Ukrayino, Ukrayino,
Shcho z toboyu diyet'sya?
/ Sydyt' voroh v tvoyoy khati,
Da shche z tebe smiyet'sya. / 2
Khay smiyet'sya, raduyet'sya,
Skoro yoho ne bude,
/ Bo vzhe zh nasha y Ukrayina
Samostiynoyu vzhe ye. / 2
