Tam daleko na pidhirju, ‘In the Distant Foothills’
Ukrainian source:
Ilko Dmytrovych Havryliuk
Tam daleko na Pidhiriu
Khvyli yasni, mov almaz:
V yikh svityl mii zir vdyvliavsia,
Ta chomus ya v nykh ne vdavsia,
Oi ne vdavs ni raz.
Tam daleko na Pidhiriu
Duby z buri sia smiiut':
V yikh ya tini v svit zbyravsia,
Ta yikh syly ne nabravsia,
Ne nabravsia v put.
Tam daleko na Pidhiriu
Plachut bili berizky:
V nykh ya, zhaliu mii, udavsia,
V nykh to sumu ya nabravsia,
Ne v dubiv, v riky!
Khvyli yasni, mov almaz:
V yikh svityl mii zir vdyvliavsia,
Ta chomus ya v nykh ne vdavsia,
Oi ne vdavs ni raz.
Tam daleko na Pidhiriu
Duby z buri sia smiiut':
V yikh ya tini v svit zbyravsia,
Ta yikh syly ne nabravsia,
Ne nabravsia v put.
Tam daleko na Pidhiriu
Plachut bili berizky:

V nykh to sumu ya nabravsia,
Ne v dubiv, v riky!
