Yak pryishly pany polyaky na Vkrayinu
Chtily voyuvaty,
A yak vsypav yim Kotovs'kyi,
Pochaly tikaty.
Oy tikaly tabunamy,
Mov ti durni vivci,
My z yich hnaly byyakamy
Po nashyi dubrivci.
My z yich hnaly byyakamy,
Lupyly po spynach:
A to tobi Ukrayina,
Vrazyi pans'kyi synu!
Pan Pilsuds'kyi z perelyaku
Vyishov na dorohu,
Ne popav vin na konya
Ta siv na korovu,
Ta y pytaye zamisnyka:
– A shcho tam si diye?
– Tikay, tikay, pan velmoznyi,
Bo bilshovyk biye! –
Oy tikav ze pan Pilsuds'kyi
Do svoyi Varshavy,
Ta y prodav vin svoyi kapci
Za hladushchyk kavy.
