Proday, mylyi, siri bychky,
Kupy meni cherevychky,
Za sim hroshey politychky –
Shnurovani cherevychky.

Proday, mylyi, shche y telycyu,
Nabery my na spidnycyu,
Na spidnycyu, na halany,
Shchob sya lyudy dyvuvaly.

Proday, mylyi, vivcyu-yarku,
Prybery mya, yak fiyalku,
I dlya tebe krashche bude,
Yak ya vyidu mezy lyudy.

Prodav mylyi siri bychky,
Kupyv myli[y] cherevychky,
Za sim hroshey politychky –
Shnurovani cherevychky.

Prodav mylyi shche y telycyu,
Nabrav myli[y] na spidnycyu,
Na spidnycyu, na halany,
Az sya lyudy dyvuvaly.

Prodav mylyi vivcyu-yarku,
Prybrav mylu, yak fiyalku:
– Teper, myla, pryberysya
I na sebe podyvysya!

Yak sya myla moy prybrala,
Sila sobi, zadumala:
– Chym by to rozpalyty,
Syakyi-takyi borshch zvaryty?

Zapryahaye mylyi mylu,
Yide z neyu u dubynu:
– Tyahny, myla, yak ti bychky,
Bo ty mayesh cherevychky!

Pryyichaly u lisok,
Prypnyav mylu za dubok:
– Postiy, myla, postiy, hov!
Nay naberu firu drov!

Yak nabrav vin firu drov,
Zapryahaye mylu znov:
– Tyahny, myla, yak ti bychky,
Bo ty mayesh cherevychky!

Pryyichaly na selo, –
Svysnuv mylu u cholo:
– Trymay-trymay, moya myla,
Shchob-s' dyshla ne zlomyla!

Yak pryyichaly dodomu,
Daye myliy shche y solomu:
– Yiz, myla, yak ti bychky,
Bo ty mayesh cherevychky!

– Proday, mylyi, cherevychky,
Kupy syaki-taki bychky,
Shchob ya z lisa ne vozyla,
Tobi styda ne robyla.
