Tam, na hori, likarnya stoyala,
V tiy likarni Marusya lezala.

V tiy likarni Marusya lezala,
Chornym shovkom holovu zv’yazala.

Chornym shovkom holovu zv’yazala,
Sama z morya troyzillya bazala.

– A chto meni troyzillya distane,
Toy zi mnoyu na rushnychok stane.

Obizvavsya kozak molodenkyi:
– Ye u mene konyk voronenkyi.

A ya tobi troyzillya distanu,
I z toboyu na rushnychok stanu.

Yak stav kozak troyzillya kopaty,
Stala yomu zozulya kuvaty:

– Oy ne kopay, kozachenku, zillya,
Bo vze v toyi divchyny vesillya.

Yide kozak z tr'oma zillyachkamy,
Yde divchyna z svoyimy druzkamy.

Do druzok vin shapochku znimaye,
Do Marusi shablyu vytyahaye.

Koly v poli makivka brynila,
To v Marusi holova zletila.

Tut nauka vsim divchatam stroha,
Shoby virni buly svoho slova.
