Nu chiba ty zyvesh?
Ty z lyshe isnuyesh!
A yakshcho ty pomresh?
Ty choch shchos' cinuyesh?
Chto modnyi? Ce ty!
Nemodnyi – ce ya.
A chy ne chochesh ty pity
Y pozbavyty sebe zyttya?

Pryspiv:
Ni dumky, ni vrazen –
Nichoho ne mayesh,
Zodnych upovnovazen,
Ty prosto chas vbyvayesh.

Kudy pidut' vsi,
Tudy y pidesh ty,
Ta vypusty shasi,
Bo vse letysh-letysh.

Pryspiv

Pryzemlyatys' pora –
Ne perezyvesh padinnya,
Oy! durna moya holova –
U tebe z ye supervminnya:
Ty pryzyveshsya bud'-de,
Spilnu movu znaydesh z usima,
Polyubysh choch usich lyudey,
Ta ty nichoho ne robysh darma...
