Pishov Ivan v polonynu kosyty,
Pishlo za nym dev’yat' divok sushyty.
Ta y nakosyv dev’yat' valiv v odyn den –
Ne posushat' dev’yat' divok za tyzden.

Ne lyubyla-m, lysh odnoho, e-ya-hoy:
Kazut' lyudy, hrich za noho, o-ya-hoy!
Ya sya hricha poboyala, e-ya-hoy,
Simoch zrazu vcharuvala, o-ya-hoy!

Zenyv by-m sya ta boyusya, e-ya-hoy!
Az natraflyu zonu-bisa, o-ya-hoy!
Shche dva rochky poleginyu, e-ya-hoy,
Na nayfayniy sya ozenyu, o-ya-hoy!

Lyubyla-s' nya cilyi tyzden, e-ya-hoy,
Zabula-s' nya vos'myi den, o-ya-hoy!
Nevelyka sercyu tuha, e-ya-hoy,
Ne budesh ty, bude druha, o-ya-hoy!
