Chorni chereshni pry biliy chati,
Chody, divchyno, chereshni rvaty.
Chereshni rvaty, chereshni yisty,
Skazy, divchyno, de mayu sisty.

Siday, leginyu, otam u sino,
A to ne sino, a p’yane vyno.
Nechay nam zirka stane za svidka –
Chereshni chorni, z nochi ne vydko.

Doky my yily, skilky chotily,
A zori bili chomus' tremtily.
Chorni chereshni uze vidchodyat',
A hordyi legin bilshe ne chodyt'.

Chorni chereshni pry biliy chati,
Chody, divchyno, chereshni rvaty.
Chereshni rvaty, chereshni yisty,
Skazy, divchyno, de mayu sisty.
