A ne ye to na svece, yak molodi nevesce,
Muz ye v Hameryce, (2) sama robi shto chce.

A muz v Hameryce robyt na talyary,
A ona kupuye (2) parobkam cyhary.

– A kupuy, zeno, kupuy, ked mash za shto kupovac,
Ide ty tam stivka, (2) mozesh yu skeltovac.

– A vychod ze, miy muzu, do svoyoho krayu,
Nay tya tvoyi dity (2) tivko ne chekayut.

– A shto ze mi za dity, shto ya o nych ne znam,
Ked yuz sedem rochkiv, (2) yak ya z tobov ne spav?

– A ya shaty reybala, o tobi ya dumala,
Tady ya, miy muzu, (2) i v tyazy zostala.

– Ne cyhan ty, zeno, ze ty shaty reybala,
Ale povidz pravdu, (2) ze-s frayira mala.
