Here is the transliteration. If you want to know what it really sounds like, copy the Ukrainian lyrics, paste them into Google translate and click on the "sound" icon. The text is first said at normal speed and if you click again, it's said more slowly. Sorry if I sound like a 1st grade teacher, old habits die hard!

MISYATS' NA NEBI

Misyats' na nebi, ziron'ky syayut',
Tykho po moryu choven plyve.
V chovni divchyna pisnyu spivaye,
A kozak chuye — serden'ko mre.'

Pisnya ta myla, pisnya ta lyuba
Vse pro kokhannya, vse pro lyubov.
Yak my lyubylys' ta y roziyshlysya,
Teper naviky ziyshlysya znov.

Oy ochi, ochi, ochi divochi,
Temni, yak nichka, yasni, yak den'!
Vy zh meni, ochi, vik vkorotyly,
De zh vy navchylys' zvodyt' lyudey?
