Kashtany, kashtany, kashtany,
Sofiyi i Lavry chresty.
Kyyany, kyyany, kyyany,
Vy sestry moyi i braty.

Ya z Vamy v doshchi y snihopady
U cherzi za shastyam stoyu,
I layu po-kyyivs'ky vladu
Y horilku po-kyyivs'ky p’yu.

Ya i druziv rozumiv
I vorohiv umiv proshchaty,
Bo chreshchenyi bat'ko miy –
To Chreshchatyk, to Chreshchatyk.

Spasybi kazu svoyiy doli,
Shcho v chorniy pusteli nochey
Ya sotni raziv bozevoliv
Vid Vashych, kyyanky, ochey.

Kyyanky, kyyanky, kyyanky,
Veseli, sumni, hominky,
Naykrashchi u sviti kochanky,
Naykrashchi u sviti zinky.

Vam skazut', shcho ya v Amsterdami,
Shcho Kyyiv zminyav na Moskvu,
Ne virte, panove, ya z Vamy
Za kyyivs'kym chasom zyvu.

I de b ya ne buv za kordonom,
Ya znav, shcho zavzdy povernus'
Dodomu, dodomu, dodomu
V svyatu moyu Kyyivs'ku Rus'.
