Chy ye v sviti molodycya,
Yak ta Handzya bilolycya?
– Oy skazite, dobri lyudy,
Shcho zo mnoyu teper bude?

Pryspiv:
Handzya moya, Handzya lyubka,
Handzya mylaya holubka,
Handzya rybka, Handzya ptychka,
Handzya cyacya-molodychka.

Handzyu moya, Handzyu myla,
Chym ty mene napoyila?
Chy lyubystkom, chy charamy,
Chy solodkymy slovamy?

Vazka z moya hirka dolya,
Znat', takaya boza volya,
Shchob nichenky ya ne spav,
Za toboyu propadav.

Chy ya malo schodyv svita,
Chy malo ya bachyv kvita?
Chom kalyna naykrasnisha,
Choho z Handzya naymylisha?

Yak na mene shchyro hlyane,
Serce moye, yak cvit, v’yane,
A yak stane shchebetaty,
Sam ne znayu, shcho diyaty.

De z ty, Handzyu, vrodylasya,
De z ty chariv navchylasya,
Shcho yak hlyanesh ty ochyma,
Ya zaplachu, yak dytyna.

Handzyu, serce-molodychko,
Yake v tebe harne lychko,
I hubonky, i ochenky,
I nozenky, i ruchenky.

Handzyu, kotko, ne curaysya
Ta na volyu bozu zdaysya,
Pryhornys' do sercya moho
Ta ne vvazay ni na koho.

Koly z tvoya taka volya,
Shchob ty mene ne lyubyla,
Luchche z meni taka dolya,
Shchob zlyubyla mya mohyla.
