Oy u poli cheremshyna, z neyi bilyi cvit upav,
Hey, hey! Z neyi cvit pryupav.

Mashyruyut' kozachenky, bo yim marshyk prypav,
Hey, hey! Bo yim marshyk prypav.

Mashyruyut', mashyruyut', shchaslyva yim doroha,
Hey, hey! Shchaslyva yim doroha.

Machnuv chustkov nazad sebe: "Buvay, myla, zdorova!
Hey, hey! Buvay, myla, zdorova!"

– Chomu z ty mnya, moya maty, rano ne zbudyla,
Hey, hey, rano ne zbudyla,

Yak ta persha nasha sotnya z mista vychodyla,
Hey hey, z mista vychodyla?

– Tomu z ya tya, moya donyu, rano ne zbudyla,
Hey, hey, rano ne zbudyla.

Bo-s lyubyla usususa, shchoby-s ne tuzyla,
Hey, hey shchoby-s ne tuzyla.
