Kruzlyayut' chayky ponad rikoyu,
Vechirnya zirka dlya nas ziyshla...
Dlya nas z toboyu, dlya nas z toboyu
Shaslyva tycha pryishla pora.

Pryspiv:
U chvylyach dniprovych
Kupayut'sya zori,
Zoryt' misyachenko zhory...
Pryv’yazemo choven
V Zatoci lyubovi, –
Nemaye tam zrady y zurby.

Rvemo lileyi, plyvem rikoyu,
Velyki chvyli nam ne strashni...
U dvoch z toboyu, u dvoch z toboyu
Dolayem buri v malim chovni.

Pryspiv

Malyi nash chovnyk nese do morya,
I sylnyi viter zdiynyav shtormy.
V zytti bahato nezhod ta horya,
Ta vse na sviti zdolayem my.

Pryspiv

A bilya richky plakuchi verby
Schylyly kosy az do vody...
Plyvem po richci, dolayem hrebli.
Za techiyeyu nema bidy.
