– Proday, mylyi, ryabi byky,
Kupy meni cherevyky,
Bo ya pans'koho rodu,
Ne chodyla bosa zrodu!
Proday, mylyi, ryabu svynyu,
Kupy meni byndu synyu,
Proday, mylyi, korovu,
Kupy chustku zdorovu,
Bo ya, mylyi, tvoya myla,
Shchob ya harno chodyla!
Proday, mylyi, telycyu,
Kupy meni spidnycyu.
Budu neyu mayaty,
Budu chlopciv vabyty!
Proday, mylyi, ryabu husku,
Kupy meni bilu blyusku,
Shchob ya harno chodyla.
Tebe virno lyubyla!
Mylyi mylu ubyraye,
Shche y chomut nakladaye
V lis po drova pohanyaye:
– Hayda, myla, chornobrova,
Poyidemo v lis po drova.
Yak pryyichaly do lisa,
Vona dyvyt', yak na bisa.
Mylyi v lisi pochodzaye,
Suchych drovec' natyahaye
Shche y na viz nakladaye:
– Hayda, myla, do krynyci,
Tam nap’yemosya vodyci!
– Nashcho meni tvoya voda,
Yak ya sama ye moloda?
Ty sydiv – ya tyahnula,
Chut' dusheyu ne ryhnula.
– Hayda, myla, dodomu,
Budesh yisty solomu!
– May ze, mylyi, myluvannya,
Day ze meni shanuvannya:
Proday, mylyi, cherevyky,
Kupy meni ryabi byky,
Choch ne taki, yaki buly,
Aby drov prytyahnuly.
Proday, mylyi, byndu synyu,
Kupy meni ryabu svynyu,
Budu yiyi hoduvaty,
Budu salo poyidaty.
Proday chustku zdorovu,
Kupy meni korovu,
Budu yiyi dohlyadaty,
Budu maslo poyidaty.
Proday, mylyi, spidnycyu,
Kupy meni telycyu,
Budu yiyi dohlyadaty
I nadiyi spodivat'sya.
Proday, mylyi, bilu blyusku,
Kupy meni ryabu husku,
Budu pir’yachko derty,
Shchob mala na chim vmerty.
