Performed by: Kateryna Artemenko<\/strong>, artist of the Ivan Franko National Academic Drama Theater<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, will you, my dear, long for me
when I go away to serve in the army?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When her beloved rode beyond the new gates,
the girl could neither sleep nor work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When her beloved rode past the green willows,
tears began to flow from her eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When her beloved rode across the yellow sands,
he turned to look back \u2014 his brother ran after him on foot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, come back, brother \u2014 our father is dying!\u201d
\u201cI won\u2019t return, I\u2019ll be too late \u2014 may God receive him.\u201d
\u201cOh, come back, brother \u2014 your sweetheart is dying!\u201d
\u201cI\u2019ll ride hard, I\u2019ll drive my horse to reach her alive!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the beloved reached his village,
painters and carpenters were building a coffin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMake it wide, make it deep \u2014
she will lie within, and I shall lie beside her.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, don\u2019t weep, my dear, I\u2019m not dying \u2014
it\u2019s just that love for you has driven me mad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
