Kolyadyn, kolyadyn,
Ya u bat'ka odyn.
Mene bat'ko poslav,
Shchob ya papky dostav,
Ta shche y sala brusok,
I kovbasky kusok,
Shche y prynis pyrizok
I na med shelyazok.
Povelila maty
Pampushok dostaty,
Prynesty horishok
Dlya dytyachych vtishok,
Shchob u nashim dvori
Bulo sytno vves' rik
Ta shchob buv u nas chlib
Ta bahatyi pryplid,
Shchob lomylys' stoly,
Shchob zdorovi buly.

("Na c'omu slovi buvayte zdorovi!
Bahato yidy i niyakoyi bidy!" – promovlyayuchy).
