Original text and translations
Polish text
1. Gdzieś tam z nad tej czarnej wody
Wsiada na koń ułan młody
Czule żegna się z dziewczyną
Jeszcze czulej z Ukrainą
ref. Hej, hej, hej sokoły
Omijajcie góry, lasy, doły
Dzwoń, dzwoń, dzwoń dzwoneczku
Mój stepowy - Dzwoń, dzwoń, dzwoń.
2. Wina, wina, wina, wina dajcie
A jak umrę pochowajcie
Na zielonej Ukrainie
Przy kochanej mej dziewczynie
English translation
1. Somewhere from beneath that black water
A young uhlan (polish light cavalry armed) mounts his horse
He tenderly bids farewell to his girl
Even more tenderly to the Ukraine
ref.: Hey, hey, hey falcons
Pass the mountains, forests, pits
Ring, ring, ring my little bell
In the steppe - Ring, ring, ring.
2. Wine, wine, wine, wine – give it to me
And when I die bury me
In the green Ukraine
At my beloved girl's place
