Po tim boci na toloci
Pasut'sya yahnyata,
Rad by ya sya dovidaty
De myloyi chata.

– Tvoya chata za horoyu,
Moya za druhoyu.
Chy ty tuzysh tak za mnoyu,
Yak ya za toboyu?

– Oy tuzu ya, divchynonko,
Oy tuzu ya, tuzu,
Cherez tebe, divchynonko,
V viys'ku ne vysluzu.

– Oy koly b ya dorizenku
Do cisarya znala,
Ya by svomu mylenkomu
Pakunok poslala.

Ne velykyi toy pakunok,
Chotyry horishky,
Yak ne mayesh voron-konya,
Pryidy, mylyi, pishky.

A yak yichav zovnyar z viys'ka
Do divchyny v hosti,
Zavalyvsya kin voronyi
Na klenovim mosti.

Zavalyvsya, provalyvsya,
Az mu splyla hryva,
Za zovnyarom molodenkym
Plache chornobryva.

Proshchay, sady, vynohrady,
Proshchay, Ukrayino,
Proshchay, proshchay, ne zurysya,
Moloda divchyno.

Udar, hrome, nad panamy,
Shchob klyati zavyly:
Vony bidnu syrotynu
Z mylym rozluchyly.
