Nad Dniprovoyu sahoyu
Stoyit' yavor mez lozoyu,
Mez lozoyu z yalynoyu,
Z chervonoyu kalynoyu.

Dnipro bereh ryye-ryye,
Yavorovi korin myye.
Stoyit' staryi, pochylyvsya,
Mov kozak toy zazuryvsya.

Shcho bez doli, bez rodyny
Ta bez virnoyi druzyny,
Bez druzyny ta nadiyi
V samotyni posyviye!

Yavor kaze: – Pochylyusya
Ta v Dniprovi skupayusya. –
Kozak kaze: – Pohulyayu
Ta lyubuyu poshukayu.
Kozak kaze: – Pohulyayu
Ta lyubuyu poshukayu.

A kalyna z yalynoyu
Ta hnuchkoyu lozynoyu,
Mov divchatochka iz hayu
Vychodzayuchy spivayut';

Povbyrani, zakvitchani
Ta z talanom zarucheni,
Dumky-hadonky ne mayut',
V’yut'sya-hnut'sya ta y spivayut'.
Dumky-hadonky ne mayut',
V’yut'sya-hnut'sya ta y spivayut'.
