Oy kazalas', moya mamko, sho mya sya ne zbudesh',
Priyde taka hodynochka, sho shche plakat' budesh'.

Priyde taka hodynochka, priyde taka dnyna,
Sho zaplachesh', ta y zhadaesh', hde moya dytyna.

Ti hadaesh', moya mamko, sho ya ydu kosyty,
A ya ydu do cisarya, karabyn' nosyty.

A ya koshu, koshu, stanu otpochynu,
A karabyn' noshu, noshu, marne z' svita zhynu.

Ti hadala, moya shamko, sho ya budu hazdovaty,
Ya ydu do cisarya, dorohy zbyvaty.
