Sluzyv kozak pry viys'ku,
Mav rokiv dvadcyat' try,
Lyubyv vin divchynonku
I z syrom pyrohy.
Chy z syrom, chy bez syru,
Chy z biloyi muky,
Chy tepli, chy cholodni,–
Aby lysh pyrohy!

Hey, chula, chula, chula,
Hey, chula, chula ty,
Chy tepli, chy cholodni,–
Aby lysh pyrohy!

Ishov kozak nad Sanom,
Kvituchi berehy,
Nadybav tam divchynu,
Shcho nesla pyrohy.
– Divchyno, divchynonko,
Chy znayesh moyi sny?
Chy znayesh, shcho ya lyublyu
Iz syrom pyrohy?

Divchyna yak pochula
Kozac'ki mriyi-sny,
To zaprosyla chlopcya
Na tepli pyrohy.
Pishly vony do lisu
Ta y sily, yak mohly.
Vona yoho ciluye,
A vin yist' pyrohy!

I raptom, yak na lycho,
Napaly vorohy,
Zabraly divchynonku,
A z neyu pyrohy.
Yak krykne kozachenko:
– Pobiytesya bidy!
Berete divchynonku –
Ostavte pyrohy!

Kozak mav dovhi nohy,
Nahnav vin vorohiv,
Vidbyv vin divchynonku
Y makitru pyrohiv.
A potim kozachenka
Do shlyubu povely.
Teper vin maye zinku
I z syrom pyrohy!
