Yakby v lisi hryby ne rodyly,
Yakby divky hulyat' ne chodyly?
A ya chornyava, harna, kucheryava
Hryby ne zbyrala, z kozakom hulyala.

Yakby v poli ne cvila kalyna,
Yakby v bat'ka ne rosla divchyna?
A ya chornyava, harna, kucheryava
Rosla-vyrostala, parubkam morhala.

Yakby divky vechoramy shyly
Na vulycyu hulyat' ne chodyly?
A ya chornyava, harna, kucheryava
Shyla, vyshyvala, chlopciv charuvala.

Z toho chasu ne mayu pokoyu,
Bo za mnoyu – chlopci cheredoyu!
A ya chornyava, harna, kucheryava
Robotyashcha, brava, chlopcyam otvichala:

Oy vy, chlopci, ne robit' moroky –
Ye u mene chlopec' synookyi.
A ya chornyava, harna, kucheryava,
Yoho ciluvala, rushnykom v’yazala.

Yakby v lisi hryby ne rodyly,
Yakby divky hulyat' ne chodyly?
A ya chornyava, harna, kucheryava
Hryby ne zbyrala, z kozakom hulyala.
