Текст песни Тарас Григорович Шевченко - В казематі. Ой три шляхи...

Oh, three ways wide
Purchases agreed.
Abroad from Ukraine
The brothers parted.
They left the old mother.
He left the woman,
And he sister. And the smallest -
A young girl.
Planted by an old mother
Three ash trees in the field.
And the daughter-in-law planted
Tall poplar.
She planted three sycamores
Sister by the valley ...
And the girl is engaged -
Red viburnum.
Three ash trees were not accepted,
The poplar has withered,
Three sycamores withered,
Kalina called.
The three brothers do not return.
Crying old mother,
Crying woman with babies
In an unheated house.
The sister cries, goes to look
Brothers abroad ...
And the girl is engaged
Put in the homeland.
Three brothers do not return,
Wander the world,
And three ways are wide
They are overgrown with thorns.
