I dosi snyt'sya: pid horoyu,
Mez verbamy ta nad vodoyu,
Bilenka chatochka. Sydyt'
Nenache y dosi syvyi did
Kolo chatynochky i bavyt'
Chorosheye ta kucheryave
Svoye malenkeye vnucha.
I dosi snyt'sya: vyishla z chaty
Veselaya, smiyuchys', maty,
Ciluye dida i dytya,
Az trychi veselo ciluye,
Pryima na ruky, i hoduye,
I spat' nese. A did sydyt',
I usmichayet'sya, i stycha
Promovyt' nyshkom: "De z te lycho?
Pechali tiyi, vorohy?"
I nyshchechkom staryi chytaye,
Perechrestyvshys', Otche nash.
Kriz' verby sonechko siyaye
I tycho hasne. Den pohas,
I vse pochylo. Syvyi v chatu
Y sobi pishov opochyvaty.
