Ya Darochku polyubyv, v Darochky napyvsya,
A pryishov ya dodomu, bat'ko my nabyvsya.

Pytayesya mene bat'ko: "De-s' nochuvav, synu?"
Ya mu kazu: "Na toku", a vin za chuprynu.

Yak vzyav mene bat'ko byty, yak vzyav molotyty:
– Oy perestan, miy synonku, Darochku lyubyty.

A teper ze, chvala Bohu, kanchuk mu vvirvavsya,
A ya schylci popid bylce – v kropyvu schovavsya.

Ishov bat'ko kolo mene ta i spotyknuvsya,
A ya z lychom ta z bidoyu sobi os'michnuvsya.

Yak vzyav mene bat'ko byty, yak vzyav volochyty:
– Oy perestan, miy synonku, Daronku lyubyty.

– Ya Darochku polyubyv na svyatoyi Hanny,
Bo Darochka, tatunenku, shche krashcha vid panny.
