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

Oh three ways wide
The purchases have come together.
To a foreign country from Ukraine
The brothers parted.
They left their old mother.
That woman left,
And he's a sister. And the smallest -
Young girl.
Old mother planted
Three ash trees in the field.
And the daughter-in-law planted it
High Poplar.
Three maples were planted
Sister at the Valley ...
And the girl is engaged -
Red viburnum.
Three ash trees were not accepted,
Poplar withered,
Three maples have grown,
Viburnum faded.
Three brothers do not return.
Crying old mother,
Crying woman with kiddies
In an unheated house.
Sister cries, goes looking
Brothers abroad ...
And the girl is betrothed
Put in a brownie.
Three brothers do not return,
Wander around the world,
And the three paths are broad
Thorns overgrown.
