Na horodi Bozoyi pryrody vyris buryachok –
Chervonenkyi ta takyi harnenkyi, hostryi yazychok...
Rvaly kapustu, rvaly pomidory, morkvu kopaly,
A do noho... tak i ne diyshly!

Vze kvasolya u vidri biliye, bude vona ne sama,
Iz nasinnya davyt'sya oliya, buryaka z nema!
Do borshchu davno uze hotovi koblyky cybuli,
A do noho... tak i ne diyshly!

Do borshchu davno uze hotovi – na radist' dushi,
A bez toho chlopcya molodoho to vze ne borshch, a shchi!
A bez toho chlopcya molodoho to vze ne borshch, a pshyk...
