Chaban vivci zhanyaye,

Pryspiv:
Moy chabane, moy.

Do divchyny hukaye, (2)
A ty mene ne lyuby,
Viku svoho ne huby. (2)
Yak divchyna to vchula,
Do vorozky maynula. (2)
– Oy babunyu, shcho choch diy,
Nechay bude chaban miy. (2)
Nakopala korenyu,
Postavyla do vohnyu. (2)
Oy shche korin ne skypiv,
A vze chaban pryletiv. (2)
– A shcho tebe pryneslo,
Chy sidelce, chy veslo? (2)
– Prynis mene syvyi kin
Ta do tebe na poklin. (2)
Shcho sya stalo, ne znayu,
Yak zyttya, tya kochayu. (2)
