Oy rozstupysya, husta lishchyno,
Tikay, ne chekay chlopcya, divchyno.
Hoy-ya, hoy, chlopcya, divchyno.

Bo vin molodyi do viys'ka pide,
Nichto ne znaye, chy zyvyi bude.
Hoy-ya, hoy, chy zyvyi bude.

Ne sluchalasya divka moloda,
Vona rekrutu vyshyvku dala.
Hoy-ya, hoy, vyshyvku dala.

Yak vyshyvala – tycho spivala,
Yak daruvala – revne plakala.
Hoy-ya, hoy, revne plakala.

– Shcho z vyshyvanky moyeyi bude,
Yak miy mylenkyi do viys'ka pide.
Hoy-ya, hoy, do viys'ka pide.

– Pidu na viynu, viz'mu z soboyu,
Tishytys' budu, yak by toboyu.
Hoy-ya, hoy, yak by toboyu.

Yak m’ya poranyat' – bude do rany,
Yak ub’yut' mene – bude do yamy.
Hoy-ya, hoy, bude do yamy.

Oy tam do Kuta dorizka kruta,
Oy zde divchyna z viyny rekruta.
Hoy-ya, hoy, z viyny rekruta.
