Pomishavsya komysh iz travoyu,
Povinchavsya staryi z molodoyu.
Yak poyichav staryi u pole oraty,
Yoho z molodenka u korchmu hulyaty.

Yak pryyichav staryi iz polya, z orannya,
Yoho z molodenka iz korchmy, z hulyannya.
– Shcho z ce ty, myla, s'ohodni robyla,
Shcho ty meni yisty ne zvaryla?

– Bula, mylyi, v zelenomu luzi,
Bolyt', mylyi, holovonka duze.
Shcho ty, mylyi, dumayesh-hadayesh,
Shcho ty meni likiv ne shukayesh!

Pishov mylyi od chaty do chaty
Svoyiy myliy likiv dobuvaty.
Dobuv mylyi dubovoho sala,
Yak pomazav, shcho y shkura odstala.

Ne vspiv mylyi konya osidlaty,
Myla vspila snidaty zhotuvaty.
Ne vspiv mylyi na konyka sisty,
Yoho myla klyche v chatu yisty.

– De z ty, myla, nichku nochuvala,
Des' ty, myla, vsyu nichku ne spala,
Des' ty, myla, vsyu nichku ne spala,
Shcho ty meni snidat' zhotuvala?

– Uze z, mylyi, od rechi do rechi,
Bolyat', mylyi, moyi bili plechi.
Boyus', mylyi, tvoyeyi natury:
Ne prytulyu sorochky do shkury.
