Nesut' vody zvir-potoky
Po Karpatach synookych,
Mov cymbaliv struny sribni
Dzvinko hrayut', vyhrayut':
Zelen-svichky – to smerichky,
Buky, kleny zoloti –
Osin veresom molodyt'
Zovtnya pustoshi, hayi.

Ne pytay, de vroda kane,
Yak zyma na zemlyu zhryane –
U Karpatach, v sonce-horach,
Zavshe kvitnucha vesna:
Bilyi snih – to cvit vyshnevyi,
Diamantom syaye lid,
Churtovyny, zametili –
Zirkopadiv vesel-smich.

V lisovych charivnych shatach,
U zelenych ray-Karpatach,
Vytanc'ovuyut', spivayut'
Huculochky fayni, yoy!
Pisnya pisnyu dohanyaye,
Yich strichaye soncya cvit,
Kolomyika – tanec' vitru –
Ne vhavaye na ves' svit!
