Yak ty, chorte lysyi, nadoyiv! – nache nemovlya, tebe kolyshu.
Popopyv moyeyi krovi, podoyiv!.. Ya v cvitu, a ty na ladan dyshesh.
Kolo mene chlopciv, yak royiv, vylosya, krutylosya bahato,
A mene yakyis' lychyi pidbyv za staroho vyity, durnuvatu.

Pryspiv:
Hop, chuky-chuky, hey!.. Tilky t'ochne solovey –
Kynu k chortu rohachi, – lezy, didu, na pechi!
A ya brava molodycya, meni vdoma ne sydyt'sya:
Ty do ranku budesh spaty, a ya pidu tancyuvaty.
Hop, chuky– chuky-chuky! – viz'mu parubka pid ruky.
Chuky-chuky-chuky, hey! – chay spivaye solovey.

Kazut' lyudy: hore – ne bida: did choch i v litach, ale z bahatyi.
Ye u noho v kopanci voda, mlyn, stavok ta shche y pid cynkom chata.
Pravda, vze zamulyvs' toy stavok, zaby kvakchut' v nashomu boloti.
Nyni did – zasushenyi penok, ya shche – molodycya uv ochoti.

Pryspiv:
Ya brovoyu shche yak povedu – did lyshe kachykaye iz pichky.
Ya – yak povnyi misyac' na vydu: i statura, y makoviyi shchichky.
Sestronky! Meni vze vse odno – pered vamy ne vtayu nichoho:
Krashche ustupyty u bahno, niz popchatys' zamiz za staroho.
