– Oy vbery mya, mylyi,
V vyshytu sorochku.
Pochovay mya, mylyi,
V vyshnevim sadochku.

Oy ubrav mylenku
V vyshytu sorochku.
Pochovav mylenku
V vyshnevim sadochku.

A v nedilyu rano
Shche sonce ne schodyt',
Yak mylyi z druhoyu
Po sadochku chodyt'.

– Oy mylyi, mylenkyi,
Shcho to za mohyla?
Shcho ya sy do neyi
Bili nizky zbyla.

Myla moya, myla,
To ne ye mohyla,
To ye pochovana
Moya persha myla.

– Oy mylyi, mylenkyi,
Nashcho yi chovaty,
Bulo, yak tu suku,
V fosi prykopaty.

– Myla moya, myla,
Dobre shcho-s skazala,
Teper budu znaty,
Yak tebe chovaty.

– Oy ustan, mylenka,
Vstan, chornobryvenka,
Bo sya poz’yizdyla
Rodyna blyzenka.

– Yak sya poschodyla,
Nay sy posidaye.
Mayesh druhu zinku
Nay ty pryhoshchaye.

– Oy ustan, mylenka,
Vstan, chornobryvenka,
Bo sya pospuskala
Chudoba dribnenka.

– Yak sya pospuskala,
Nay sy polyahaye.
Mayesh druhu zinku,
Nay ty povpynaye.

– Oy ustan, mylenka,
Vstan, chornobryvenka,
Bo sya rozplakala
Dytyna malenka.

– Yak sya rozplakala,
To viz'my na ruky.
Pidy u sadochok,
Vylomy yiy buket.

Vylomy yiy buket
Ta y rozevu kvitku.
Zabav, zahalyakay
Malenku syritku.
