Shchedryk, shchedryk, shchedrivochka,
Pryletila lastivochka.
Sila vona na vikonce,
Tam, de teplo hriye sonce.
Stala sobi shchebetaty,
Hospodarya vyklykaty.
– Vyidy, vyidy, hospodaryu,
Podyvysya na kosharu.
Tvoyi vivci pokotylys',
A baranci narodylys',
Shche y yahnushky-lopoushky,
Shcho skakayut' vyshche hrushky.
Tvoya siraya kobyla
Shche y loshatko narodyla.
V poli vyrosla pshenycya,
U korovy ye telycya.
Tvoya zinka urodlyva,
Pan-chazyayin, bud' shchaslyvyi.
