Plakala Mariula
I ne khotila ditey,
Bo bula mala.
- Yoy, nasho meni dity?
Ya by sobi, ya by dali by
Zhyla,
Hulyala,
Ya by horya ne znala.
Plakala babunya,
Plakav dido, plakav i kit.
Plakala zyma.
- Oy, Zemle molodaya,
Ya pidu do tvoho krayu,
Schob ty mene vzyala,
Skhovala,
Tak, niby mya nema.
Zakryly snihy
Mohyly zviriv v lisi.
I oleni staly i holovy
sklaly
Do nih Mariuly.
Dorohu vkazaly ptakhy.
Pobytykh, potoptanykh
nih ne zhaliyuchy, ysha i znayshla
Kolysku z lozy.
