Ty, zelena dibrovonko,
Chom ne horysh, no sya kurysh?
Ty, moloda divchynonko,
Chom ne robysh, no sya zurysh?

– Yakby ya ne pidpalena,
To ya by sya ne kuryla.
A yakby ya chlopcya mala,
To ya by sya ne zuryla.

Ty, zelena dibrovonko,
Choho lystya opuskayesh?
Ty, moloda divchynonko,
Choho slozy prolyvayesh?

– A ya lystya opuskayu,
Bo moroz mi prytyskaye.
A ya slozy prolyvayu,
Bo lychoho muza mayu.

Ne zurysya, divchynonko,
Bo naviky dushu zhubysh.
Skazy meni shchyru pravdu,
Koho ty tak virno lyubysh?

Ya nikoho ne lyubyla –
Hryc'ka, Stec'ka i Danyla,
Hryc'ka, Stec'ka i Stepana.
Zamiz vyishla za Ivana.

Ne kazala tobi maty,
Ne kazav tobi otec',
Sama yoho polyubyla,
Bo buv harnyi chlopec'.

Ne kazav tobi otec',
Ne kazala maty,
Sama yoho polyubyla,
Teper musysh biduvaty.
