– Perechodom v chystim poli zakvitly voloshky,
A ya z tebe polyubyv, shcho rum’yana troshky.

– Oy perestan, perestan do mene chodyty,
Mene, molodenkuyu, z rozumu zvodyty!

– Ya z ne perestanu, pokil ne dostanu
Rum’yanoho lychka, choroshoho stanu.

Yak ya mayu perestaty, shcho ya lyublyu tebe,
A ty mene, serce moye, upusty do sebe.

– Yak ya mayu upustyty, maty klyuchi maye
I velykym zamkom dveri zamykaye.

– Ukrad' klyuchi u materi, koly lyaze spaty,
A svoyoho mylenkoho upusty do chaty.

Ukrala klyuchi u materi, maty ne pochula,
A svoyoho mylenkoho do sebe klyknula:

– Chody teper, miy mylenkyi, potish moyu dushu,
Ya dlya tebe, shcho rozkazesh, uchynyty mushu.
