Журавлі [Zhuravli] [Transliteration]

Stan' zi mnoiu v bilyi tanets

Stan',

Chornyi kolir - to moia vual

Ya dozvoliu, znai,

Zazyrnuty pid moiu vual.

Tam zhurali letiat' u syniu dal'

I znaiut' vony,

De ye moia i de tvoia pechal'

U synikh moyikh ochakh.

Budu tinniu

Ty svitankom bud'

V moyikh stinakh mal'vy zatsvitut'

I zhradaiu, znai

Nashi nochi chorni, yak vual'.

A zhuravli letiat' u syniu dal'

I znaiut' vony,

De ye moia i de tvoia pechal'

I nemaie nikoho okrim nas

Zupyniaiet'sia v tsi khvylyny chas

I spohad toi zhyve nenache ptakh

U synikh moyikh ochakh.
