Temna nichka, temnaia

Lyrics

Temna nichka, temnaia, ta i
Temna nichka, temnaia
Iz vechora do rannia.

De zh ya budu tsiu nich spat, da i
De zh ya budu tsiu nich spat,
Tsiu vecheriu vecheriat.

Povecheriaiu y sam, da i
Povecheraiu y sama,
Bo y mylenkoho nema.

Oi yak bude svitaty, da i
Oi yak bude sitaty,
Pidu v pole blukaty.

Vsenke pole iziishla, da i
Vsenke pole iziishla,
Mylenkoho ne znaishla.

Tilky znaishla kalynu, da i
Tilky znaishla kalynu,
Mylenkoho mohylu.

‒ Vstavai, mylyi, ne lezhy, da i
Vstavai, mylyi, ne lezhy,
Shliakh-dorizhku pokazhy.

‒ Oi ne vstanu, mylaia, da i
Oi ne vstanu, mylaia,
Bo y holivka bolnaia.

S kym ty, myla, siuda yshla, da i
S kym ty, myla, siuda yshla,
Sho ty mene tut znaishla.

Chy z khmaroiu, chy z doshchem, da i
Chy z khmaroiu, chy z doshchem,
Oi chy z horem, chy z plachem.

‒ Ne z khmaroiu, ne z doshchem, da i
Ne z khmaroiu, ne z doshchem,
Tilky z horem ta z plachem.
