Shcho v dida, dida p’yat' ovechok.
P’yat' ovechok, shostyi bychok.
Kurka ryabushka, baba starushka.
Ne choche vstavat', pyroha podat'.
A did ustav, pyrih podav.
– Babo, davay shche y kovbasu,
Litom koney ya popasu.
– Didu, davay sala kusok,
Ya popasu p’yat' ovechok.
Did ustaye, salo daye.
Baba nese nam kovbasu.
Nam kovbasu duze lasu.
Pryishla vesna, zrosla trava.
Zrosla trava, doshch polyva.
– Yehor, shchasty koriv pasty,
Pasty koriv ta y shche bychkiv.
Pasty bychkiv i telyci
Ta yaroviyi shche y yahnyci.
