Apparently it's called the Bandura Song.
There is an instrumental here: http://www.tradebit.com/filedetail.php/1639456-Music-Alternative

ВЗЯВ БИ Я БАНДУРУ

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

А все через очi,
Коли б я ïх мав,
За тi карi очi
Душу б я вiддав.

Марусенько, люба,
Пожалiй мене,
Вiзьми моє серце,
Дай менi своє.

Де Крим за горами,
Де сонечко сяє,
Там моя голубка
З жалю завмирає.

Две последние строки куплетов повторяются

Vzyav By Ya Banduru

Vzyav by ya banduru
ta iy zagrav, sho znav.
cherez tu banduru
banduristom stav.

A vsyo cherez ochi,
koly b ya ikh mav,
za ti kari ochi
dushu b ya vidav.

Marusenko, lyuba,
pozhaliy mene,
vizmy moye serdtse
day meni svoye.

De Krim za gorami,
de sonechko syaye,
tam moya holubka
z zhalyu zavmyraye.

The last two lines are always repeated.

I would take up a bandura

I would take up a bandura
yes and play what I know.
through that bandura
I would become a bandurist (bandura player, obviously).

And through those eyes,
If I but had them,
for those brown eyes,
I would give my soul.

Marusenko, darling,
take pity on me,
take my heart,
give me yours.

Beyond the mountains, in the Crimea,
Where the sun shines,
There my sweetheart is,
pining away.

The last two lines are always repeated.
