Oy u luzi chervona kalyna

Lyrics

Oy u luzi chervona kalyna,
Na kalyni chornyy voron krache.

Na kalyni chornyy voron krache,
Na chuzhini syrotyna plache.

Oy ne krach, ty, chornyy voronon'ku,
Oy plach, ty, byedna syroton'ko.

Ne davno ya syrotoyu stala,
Za tri hody vse horye zaznala.

Ne tsyeluvaly ne bat'ko, ne maty,
Tsyeluvaly vse chuzhyye lyudy.

Tsyeluvaly vse chuzhyye lyudy:
– Idy zamuzh, dobre tobye bude.

Pishla zamuzh – ne vyel'mi zhurusya,
Ya dumala, shcho nazad vernusya.

Pishla zamuzh – ne vyel'mi ya plachu,
Ya y dumala, shcho svyeta pobachu.

Pishla zamuzh za horku p`yanytsyu,
Utopilas' v hlyboku krynytsyu.

Na polytsi lezhat' pal'onytsi,
Dlya moyeyi horkoyi p`yanytsi.

A na lavtsi – varenychky v masli,
Dlya moyeyi dolechky neshchasnoy.
