Pidu ya do hayu, hayu zelenoho,
Nazbyrayu chmelyu, chmelyu chervonoho.

Natovchu ya chmelyu, chmelyu chervonoho,
Naproshu ya rodu, rodu slavnenkoho.

Po bahatu sestru treba koni slaty,
A po bidnu sestru ta y perekazaty.

Ta bahata sestra kohuta pryvezla,
A ta bidna sestra barana prynesla.

Bahatuyu sestru ta za stil sadzayut',
A tu bidnu sestru v porozi trymayut'.

Bahataya sestra ta p’ye med-horilku,
A taya bidnenka stoyit' pry odvirku.

– Oy ty, nasha sestro, ne zavad' nikomu,
Hoduy bidnych ditok, yak pryidesh dodomu.

Ydu ya dorohoyu ta hirenko plachu,
Za tymy slozamy stezechky ne bachu.

Ydu ya stezechkoyu, lyudy mya pytayut':
– U sestry vesillya, shcho rano vertayesh?

Yak pryishla dodomu, shche y dity pytayut':
– Mamunyu ridnenka, shcho rano vertayesh?

– Dity, moyi dity, v mene nema rodu,
Oblyly mya slozy, ya pryishla dodomu.
