Yak ya lyublyu tebe,
Chay rozkazut' tobi vechory holubi
Pro moyu lyubov.
Yak ya lyublyu tebe,
U divochiy zurbi po znayomiy tropi
Vse blukayu znov.

Yak ya lyublyu tebe,
Chay rozkaze moya terpelyva dusha,
Ty z u niy uves'.
Yak ya lyublyu tebe,
A kochannya tvoye, polochlyve ptasha,
Poletilo des'.

Yak my kochalys',
Navik prysyahalys'
I plakaly ochi v tryvoznim vohni.
Yak my lyubylys',
Koly zustrichalys',
V dushi lyshyvsya bil samoty.

Vze dotlivaye son-trava,
Vze osin lystya z vit zryva,
A ya v hayach divochych lit
Shukayu paporoti cvit.

Yak ya lyublyu tebe,
Chay rozkazut' tobi povni sprahy vusta
Pro shchaslyvu myt'.
Yak ya lyublyu tebe,
Ty choch serce moye, yak kolys', rozpytay
Chom vono shchemyt'.

Yak ya lyublyu tebe,
Chay rozkaze moya terpelyva dusha,
Ty z u niy uves'.
Yak ya lyublyu tebe,
A kochannya tvoye, polochlyve ptasha,
Poletilo des'.

Yak my kochalys',
Navik prysyahalys'
I plakaly ochi v tryvoznim vohni.
Yak my lyubylys',
Koly zustrichalys',
V dushi lyshyvsya bil samoty.

Vze dotlivaye son-trava,
Vze osin lystya z vit zryva,
A ya v hayach divochych lit
Shukayu paporoti cvit.

Yak ya lyublyu tebe...
