Ziyshovshy do richky,
My vodu torknuly rukamy.
Ziyshovshy do richky,
My vodu torknuly rukamy.

U lypni tak lyubymo tilo vody,
shcho vtikaye miz palciv. (2)

Sto mlyniv bulo tam,
Sto mlynovych kolis
I zeleni... zastoyani plesa,
de ryba lovylasya v ruky.
Ocheret, nache carstva, derzavy z latattya
Use bulo richka.

Tepli schovy v pisku zalyshalysya nashi y ne nashi,
chololy do ranku. (2)

Skilky nas ne zbulos',
Perechodyachy mist ponad Poltvoyu,
Skilky... pereyshlo cherez mist
I nazavshe propalo v hushchavyni pravoho bereha?..
Pravoho bereha...

Ziyshovshy do richky,
My vodu torknuly rukamy.
