Kak za chyoniyi yeyk, kak za chyoniyi yeryk
Yekhaly kazaky - sorok tisyach loshadyeyi,
Y pokrilsya byeryeg, y pokrilsya byeryeg
Sotnyamy porubanikh, postryelyanikh lüdyeyi.
Lübo brattsi lübo, lübo brattsi dzyts,
S nashym atamanom nye prykhodytsya tudzyts.
Lübo brattsi lübo, lübo brattsi dzyts,
S nashym atamanom nye prykhodytsya tudzyts.
A pyervaya pulya, a pyervaya pulya,
A pyervaya pulya, brattsi, ranyla konya.
A vtoraya pylya, a vtoraya pylya,
A vtoraya pylya v syerdtsye ranyla myenya.
Lübo brattsi lübo, lübo brattsi dzyts,
S nashym atamanom nye prykhodytsya tudzyts.
Lübo brattsi lübo, lübo brattsi dzyts,
S nashym atamanom nye prykhodytsya tudzyts.
A dzyena poplachyet, vwiyidyet za drugovo,
Za movo tovaryshcha, zabudyet pro myenya,
Dzalko tolko bolüshku da shyroka polüshka,
Dzalko mats-starushky da bulanovo konya.
Lübo brattsi lübo, lübo brattsi dzyts,
S nashym atamanom nye prykhodytsya tudzyts.
Lübo brattsi lübo, lübo brattsi dzyts,
S nashym atamanom nye prykhodytsya tudzyts.
Kudry moy rusiye, ochy moy svyetliye
Travamy, buryanom da polinü zarastut.
Kosty moy byeliye, syerdtsye moyo smyeloye
Korshuni da voroni po styepy raznyesut.
Lübo brattsi lübo, lübo brattsi dzyts,
S nashym atamanom nye prykhodytsya tudzyts.
Lübo brattsi lübo, lübo brattsi dzyts,
S nashym atamanom nye prykhodytsya tudzyts.
Lübo brattsi lübo, lübo brattsi dzyts,
S nashym atamanom nye prykhodytsya tudzyts.
Lübo brattsi lübo, lübo brattsi dzyts,
S nashym atamanom nye prykhodytsya tudzyts.
Lübo!
