i don't want to blame you for that but you must understand that you have to be born speaking english.
HERE IS THE POEM OUT OF A BOOK CALLED "READINGS IN UKRAINIAN LIERATURE" it's from the University of Saskatchewan.

ZAPOWEET
Yak oomroo, to pokoviyte
Mene na mohilee,
Sered stepoo shirokoho,
Na vkrayeeni milee:
Shschob lani shirokopolee
Ee Dneepro, ee kroochee
Boolo vidno, - boolo chooti,
Yak reve revoochi!

Yak ponese zeh Ookrayeeni
Oo sinyehyeh more
Krow borozshoo, - otodee yah
Ee lani, ee hori -
Vse pokinoo ee polinoo
Do samoho Boha
Molitisya. A do toho -
Yah ne znau Boha!

Pokoviyte ta vstabiyte,
kiydani porveete,
Ee vrazshou, zlou krow'u
Bolu okropeete!
Ee mene veh seem'yeevelikee,
Veh seem'yee volnee, novee,
Ne zaboodte pom'yanooti
Nezlim, tikim slovom

oh and i forot to tell you steve it's MY LEGACY TESTAMENT. I'd honestly write it out but I'm too lazy. My mom helped me translate. And she even said alot of the words in the poem you typed, Stas, were wrong. Her first language was ukrainian, then she learned english at the age of 12.

[StasUA]

Then you and your mother are wrong. You're right, my english is not my first language, it's not even second one, it's third. But I do know how does "K" sounds, and there is no way "Pokoviyte" sounds like "pohovayte" I speak Ukrainian, and here how it's written in Ukrainian - "оНУНБЮИРЕ" and if you are able to read it, try to say it out loud, and guess what? It sounds as "Pohovayte".

I guess a person who wrote that book didn't speak Ukrainian.

Good luck!
Stas

Stas,
My Gido would climb these big huge stairs and say this poem to some statue. He wrote out the poem in his death bed. He knew the poem since he was 4 which was 1909. The book my mom got at the university was sent from ukraine for english study. So I'm sorry but once again I have you eating my ****.

[StasUA]

Ah ... it's pointless proving the truth to someone like you. Anyway, what's a "Gido" ?
Is it just like "pokoviyte" one of the word's you've invented?

you are all friends, no?

[wasyl_kulyk]

Too bad your gay though hey Stas. I think you invented yourself as ukrainian because you are really more russian than ukraine.
