Temnenkaya nichka t'moyu svit zakryla (2),
t'moyu svit zakryla.
A Prechysta Diva po svitu chodyla.
Pryishla do bahacha (2), na nich sya prosyla:
"Pane hospodaryu, perenochuy mene,
Bo temnaya nichka (2) nachodyt' na mene".
A toy pan hospodar ne chtiv nochuvaty,
Skazav svoyim sluham (2) sobakamy hnaty.
A tiyi sobaky Mariyu vpiznaly,
Pered Matir Bozov (2) na kolina vpaly.
A Prechysta Diva po svitu chodyla.
Pryishla do bidnoho (2), na nich sya prosyla:
"Pane hospodaryu, perenochuy mene,
Bo temnaya nichka (2) nachodyt' na mene".
"Oy rad by ya tebe perenochuvaty,
Tilky ya ne mayu (2) vecheronky daty".
"Ne treba, ne treba vecheronky tvoyi,
Tilky pusty mene (2), do stayenky svoyi".
Chy to sonce schodyt', chy misyac' zachodyt'?
To Prechysta Diva (2) svoho Syna rodyt'.
"Vstavay, zinko, vstavay. Doky budesh spala?
Vze nasha stayenka (2) svitlom zasiyala".
"Yakby-m bula znala, shcho to Maty Boza,
Bula b postelyla (2) do svoyoho loza.
Yakby-m bula znala, shcho Maty z Isusom,
Bula b prystelyla (2) bilenkym obrusom".
Staryi Rik mynaye, Novyi nastupaye (2)
Chrystos sya rozdaye.
