Toy cholovik buv duze slavetnyi
V rodyni, praci ta zytti.
Nam bude yoho duze ne vystachaty.
Pidchod'te ridni ta blyz'ki.

Yak by meni kryla,
Kryla, yak v orla,
Ya b do hory zlynuv
Het', za nebokray!
Olray!

V nebi – nebokrayi
Ya b ne sumuvav,
Hayi, vodohrayi
Okom ozyrav!
Olray!

Nohamy hup, hup, hupayu po hruntu,
A dali stop stopy, budemo kopat'.
Po-pershe het' deren, zastupa pohostryt',
Rozmiry znyat' z tila. Chay yomu bude.
E-e-ey!

A Hena lup, lup, lupaye ochyma,
Vidrazu vydno: zelenyi shche novak.
Mohyla ot-ot bude vze hotova.
Hroba poklav, ta y hodi, zakyday.
A-a-ay!

Ye v lyudyny mriya,
Nebo ye v orla!
Shchob nam poshchastylo.
Hena, nalyvay!
Olray!

Ale het' nam hodi,
Hybelna zemlya!
Zlynu ya povoli!
Druhu nalyvay!
Olray!
