Yak bula ya malenka,
Kolychala mene nenka.
Oy dub-duba, duba,
Divchyno moya lyuba.

A yak stala pidrostaty,
Staly chlopci kolychaty.
Oy dub-duba, duba,
Divchyno moya lyuba.

Oy dub-duba, duba, duba,
Divchyno moya lyuba,
Nabrechala na mene,
Shcho ya chodyv do tebe,
Fyhy-myhy daruvav,
A vytrishky prodavav.

Popid tynom bizyt' maty
Svoyu dochku pereymaty:
– Vernys', kaze, chy ne chuyesh?
Kudy z ce ty chymchykuyesh?
– Na vulycyu, moya maty,
Z parubkamy tancyuvaty!

Tancyuvala, dribotila,
Poky sama ne schotila,
Prokynulas' – ta y po chati
Davay znovu tancyuvaty.
Po bazaru chodyla,
Cherevychky kupyla.

– Syudy, chlopci, vsi do mene,
Chorni brovky u mene!
– Nechay tobi lycho z nymy,
Nashcho manysh ty nas nymy?
– Koly b vas ya ne lyubyla,
To do vas by ne chodyla!
