Kolesnik Lubov Andriivna (1937)

– Oy ty, koval', koval'-kovalenko,
Chom ne kuyesh, rano-poranen'ku?

Chy y u tebe zheliza nemaye,
Chy y u tebe stali ne khvataye?

– Yest' u mene zheliza dovoli,
Yest' u mene divka do lyubovi.

Vona zh meni slavy narobyla,
Shcho zvechora syna sporodyla.

Shcho zvechora syna sporodyla,
A z pivnochi v krynytsi vtopyla.

Oy day, Bozhe, snihy ta morozy,
Shchob zaneslo stezhky ta dorozhky.

Shchob zaneslo stezhky ta dorozhky,
Shchob ne znaly susidy-vorozhky.

Shchob ne znaly, kudy ya khodyla,
Shchob ne znaly, koho ya lyubyla.

Ya zh lyubyla husars'koho syna,
Ya zh dumal,a shcho vin syn husars'kyy.

Ya zh dumala, shcho vin syn husars'kyy,
Rozdyvylas', a vin syn tsyhans'kyy.

Chornomerets', mamin'ka, chornomorets',
/ Vyviv mene, bosuyu zhy, na morozets'. / 2

Vyviv mene, bosuyu, ta y pytaye:
/ – Chy ye moroz, divchyno zhy, chy nemaye? / 2

– Oy nema morozu – sama rosa,
/ A ya, molodesen'ka zhy, stoyu bosa. / 2

Prostoyala nichen'ku – ta y bayduzhe,
/ Lyublyu chornomorchyka zhy, lyublyu duzhe. / 2

Ya v seredu rodylasya, kazhut' lyudy – hore.
/ – Ne ydy, divko, za staroho, bo boroda kole. / 2

A ydy, divko, za takoho, shcho vusa tryasut'sya,
/ Vin na mene kyvne-morhne, a ya zasmiyusya. / 2

Metu siny, metu khatu – ta y zasmiyalasya,
/ Vyyshla maty vodu braty – ta y dohadalasya. / 2

– Znayu, donyu, znayu, myla, choho zh ty smiyeshsya,
/ Polyubyla kozachen'ka – ta y ne pryznayeshsya. / 2

Ponad nashym zhe yarom ta pshenychen'ka lanom,
A v dolyni – sam oves.

– Ne po pravdi, kozache, ne po pravdi, sokole,
Ne po pravdi zi mnoy zhyvesh.

– A yak pryyde toy vechir, vechir toy, vecherochok,
Ty do druhoyi idesh.

– Ta y meni zh, moloden'kiy, ta meni zh, molodesen'kiy,
Serdtsyu zhalyu zavdayesh.

– Posady zh ty, divchyno, posady zh derevynu,
Shche y chervonu zhy kalynu.

– Ta y ne raz ya sadyla, ta ne raz polyvala,
Vona zh ne pryymayet'sya.

Ta y lyubov nasha virna, ta lyubov dorohaya,
Na vik rozluchayet'sya.

Kalyna-malyna nad luzhkom stoyala,
Nad luzhkom stoyala zhy, bilym protsvita[la].

– Choho zh ty, kalyna, sokhnesh-posykhayesh?
Chy zhary boyishsya zhy, chy doshchu bazha[yesh]?

– Zhary ne boyusya, doshchu ne bazhayu,
Koho virno lyublyu zh, za tym pomyra[yu].

– Oy umru ya, myla, a ty budesh zhyva,
Ne zabuvay, myla zhy, de moya mohy[la].

– A tvoya mohyla kray syn'oho morya,
Kray syn'oho morya zhy, zarosla travo[yu].

A ya zh tu mohylu pidu rozkopayu,
Mylen'koho kosti zhy ta y povybyra[yu].

Mylen'koho kosti ta y povybyrayu,
Pidu do Dunayu zhy ta y povymyva[yu].

Pidu do Dunayu ta y povymyvayu,
V vyshnevim sadochku zhy ta y povystelya[yu].

Sydyt' Vanya na dyvani, stakan chayu vypyvaye,
Ne dopyv vin stakan chayu zhy, sam do dyevushky y ushol.

Sam do dyevushky y ushol...
– Ty, dyevitsa zhy, krasavitsa zhy, y otkroy svoyu zhy krasatu.

Otkroy svoyu krasatu...
Ya zh tvayeyu zhy krasatoyu y azh try hoda zhy lyubovavs'.

Azh try hoda lyubovavs'...
Na chetvertyy perestanu zhy, na Kavkaz pyeshkom paydu.

Na Kavkaz pyeshkom paydu...
Na Kavkazye zhy dom tyernovyy, dom, shche y lyul'ka s tabakom...

Oy pidu ya y u dolynu, ta y stanu ya pid kalynu,
/ Kalyna vysoka, dolyna shyroka, azh dodolu hillya hnet'sya. / 2

A pid toyu kalynoyu stoyav kozak z divchynoyu,
/ Divchynon'ka plache, sl'ozy prolyvaye, svoyu dolyu proklynaye. / 2

Oy yakby ya bula znala, ne yshla zamizh ta hulyala,
/ U ridnoyi nen'ky, u ridnoho bat'ka, yak makivka protsvitala. / 2

Teper zhe ya mushu znaty, pizno lyahty, rano vstaty,
/ Svekrusi vhodyty, zovytsyu lyubyty, todi bude harno zhyty. / 2
