    Lyrics to O yu Luzi:

    Lyrics in Ukranian:

    Ойу лузі червона калина похилилася,
    Чогось наша славна Україна зажурилася.
    А ми тую червону калину підіймемо,
    А ми нашу славну Україну, гей-гей, розвеселимо!

    Lyrics in English:

    In the meadow, there a red kalyna (Viburnum), has bent down low,
    For some reason, our glorious Ukraine, has been worried so.
    And we'll take that red kalyna and we will raise it up,
    And we, our glorious Ukraine, shall, hey - hey, rise up - and rejoice!

    Romanisation:

    Oyu luzi chervona kalyna pokhylylasya,
    Chohosʹ nasha slavna Ukrayina zazhurylasya.
    A my tuyu chervonu kalynu pidiymemo,
    A my nashu slavnu Ukrayinu, hey-hey, rozveselymo!
