Mashchu chatu, shchitky znaty,

Pryspiv:
Aya-ya, aya-ya!

Ne navchyla mene maty,
Yak spechu chlib, ta y lypkyi,
A zvaryu borshch, ta y kvasnyi.
To za borshchyk, to za kavu
Zaletila az pid lavu.
A yak vylizla z-pid lavy,
Zamist' borshchu vlyla kavy.
Pryperezu fartushynu,
Pidu v pole ta y spochynu.
Yak nazala pivsnopa ya,
To y kazala, shcho kopa ye,
Yak nazala odyn snip,
To y kazala, to p’yat' kip.
Pochav doshchyk rosyty,
Vyishov mylyi kosyty:
– De z ti snopy, shcho-s nazala?
Chy pid kopamy ty spala?
– Dobri lyudy v mezu zaly,
Vsi moyi snopy pokraly.
Pishov mylyi na luzok,
Vybyraye prutychok.
Vybyraye prutychok
Ta y do moyich lytochok.
– Oy chto z tebe tak navchyv,
Shchob ty mene tak lichyv?
– Starshyi brat mene navchyv,
Shchob ya tebe tak lichyv,
Naradyly susidy,
Shchob navchyty nazavzdy.
