Oksana:
Yakby buly z toboyu v pari,
Sokolyk lyubyi, miy yedynyi,
Bula b vid shchastya vyshche chmar ya –
Mov bilyi lebid', ty krasyvyi!

Stepan:
Ya b ne poyichav v zarobitky,
Yakby buly z toboyu v pari.
Zyvesh ty yak, mo’, ye vze y ditky?
Mo’, y ne strashni buly ti chmary?

Oksana:
Yakby buly z toboyu v pari,
Varenykamy b pryhoshchala;
Litaly b lebedyamy v chmarach,
Tebe odnoho b ciluvala.

Stepan:
Tak dovho mriyav ya pro tebe
V zamors'ki dni i nochi chmarni,
Molyvsya Hospodu do neba,
Shchoby buly z toboyu v pari.

Oksana:
Yakby buly z toboyu v pari, –
Chomu poyichav ne proshchavshys'?
V ochach bez tebe lyshe chmary –
A klyavsya yak?! – ty obnimavshy.

Stepan:
Perestrazdaly my chekannya –
Teper ya znayu: "Budem v pari!"
Nichto ne strymaye kochannya –
Zasyayut' zori y v nebi chmarnim!

Oksana i Stepan:
Boze yasnyi, Boze lyubyi!
Dyakuyem tobi za radist' –
Zhynuly lychi nenastya.
Za lyubovi dyakuyemo shchastya!
