U sn'i ja plakav,
Snylos', shcho ty v trun'i, v zeml'i...
Prokynuvs' ja,
I Sl'ozy z mojikh ochej tekly...

U sn'i ja plakav,
Snylos', shcho odyn ja zostavs'...
Prokynuvs' ja
I dovho hirkymy umyvavs'!

U sn'i ja plakav,
Snylos', shcho j dos'i ty moja...
Prokynuvsja,
I dos'i chohos' to plachu ja...

In my dream I wept,
I dreamed that you were in a coffin, in the ground...
I awoke,
And tears flowed from my eyes...

In my dream I wept,
I dreamed that I remained alone...
I awoke
And long in bitter tears I washed!

In my dream I wept,
I dreamed that you were still mine...
I awoke,
And still for some reason I weep...
