Zapov[i]t (Shevchenko, set by K. Stetsenko, H. Hladky) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Jak umru, to pokhovajte
Mene na mogil[i],
Sered stepu shirokogo
Na Vkra{i}n[i] mil[i]j:
Shchob lani shirokopol[i]
[I] Dn[i]pro, [i] kruch[i]
Bulo vidno, — bulo chuti
Jak reve revuchij!

Jak ponese z Ukra{i}ni
U sin[e][e] more
Krov vorozhu, — otod[i] ja
[I] lani, [i] gori —
Vse pokinu [i] polinu
Do samogo Boga
Molitisja. A do togo —
Ja ne znaju Boga!

Pokhovajte ta vstavajte,
Kajdani porv[i]te,
[I] vrazhoju, zloju krovju
Volju okrop[i]te!
[I] mene v s[i]m'{i} velik[i]j,
V s[i]m'{i} vol'n[i]j, nov[i]j,
Ne zabud'te pom'januti
Nezlim, tikhim slovom!
