«I would take up a bandura» - Ukrainian folk song and romance.
The author of the words: Petrenko Mykhailo (partly).
Performed: Kuban Cossack Choir
Lyrics(English):

I would take up a bandura
And play that which I know
Because of that bandura
A bandurist I've become

On account of those eyes
When I could have had them
For those there brown eyes
My soul I'd have given up

Oh Dear Mary's heart
Now take pity on me
Here do take my heart
And do, give yours to me

I would take up a bandura
And play that which I know
Because of that bandura
A bandurist I've become

Lyrics(Ukrainian):

Взяв би я бандуру
Та й заграв, що знав...
Через ту бандуру
Бандуристом став

А все через очi
Коли б я iх мав
За тi карi очi
Душу б я вiддав

Марусино серце
Пожалiй мене
Вiзьми мое серце
Дай менi свое

Взяв би я бандуру
Та й заграв, що знав
Через ту бандуру
Бандуристом став
