Oj, chogo ti, topolen'ko, ne cvitesh?

Oj, chogo ti, topolen'ko,
Ne cv[i]tesh?
Chom pozhovklu golovon'ku,
Khilish, gnesh?

Chom z v[i]trami parubkami,
Ne shumish?
A zmuchena zasmuchena,
Vse movchish?

T[i]l'ki chasom do khmaron'ki
Skazhesh ti—
“Oj, khmaron'ko, oj charon'ko
Ne leti.

Z[i]rvi z mene ce listjachko,
Ce listjachko-namistechko
Bez krasi.
U r[i]dnuju rodinon'ku,
Na miluju Vkra{i}non'ku
V[i]dnesi!...”
