Nema hirsh nikomu, yak tiy bidniy chayki, ey,
Shcho y vyvela chayenyata pry bytiy dorozi.
Shcho y vyvela chayenyata pry bytiy doro(zi).

Chumachenky ishly – chayenyatok nayshly,
Hnizdechko roztoptaly, chayenyat zabraly.
Hnizdechko roztoptaly, chayenyat zabra(ly).

A chayka litaye, ob dorohu b’yet'sya.
Sydyt' chumak na voznyci, z chayechky smiyet'sya.
Sydyt' chumak na voznyci, z chayechky smiyet's(ya).

– Oy ne litay, chayko, ne vybyvay pashi,
Bo vze tvoyi chayenyata pokypyly v kashi.
Bo vze tvoyi chayenyata pokypyly v kash(i).

– Boday ze vam, chumachenky, voly pozdychaly,
Yak vy moyich chayenyatok iz hnizda zabraly.
Yak vy moyich chayenyatok iz hnizda zabral(y).

Boday ze vam, chumachenky, hory pohromyly,
Yak vy moyich chayenyatok v kashi povaryly.
Yak vy moyich chayenyatok v kashi povaryl(y).
