Pishov Musiy da v Krym po sil
Sirymy volamy.
Ohlyanet'sya ta pozad sebe –
Umnet'sya slozamy.
– Dopomozy meni, boze,
Tut soli nabraty,
Oy shchob moyu lyubuyu divchynu
Ta v byndach zastaty.
Na dobryden, divchynonko,
Ta u svoyiy chati!
– Oy ne siday ta kolo mene
Rukav povalyaty.
Oy yak budesh shtyry voly maty
Shche y chervonu shapku,
Tohdy z bo ty moyu matku
Nazvesh panimatkoy.
Oy ide Musiy ta dorohoyu,
Az u sadu vyshnya.
Pytayet'sya ta divchynonky,
Choho taka pyshna.
– Oy kozache ta kozachenku,
Toho z bo ya pyshna,
Oy bo v moyiy matinky
Try nyzky namysta.
