V’yet'sya, nache strichka, nespokiyna richka,
Tulyt'sya blyzenko do pidnizzya hir,
A na tomu boci, tam zyve Marichka,
V chati, shcho schovalas' u zelenyi bir. (2)

Pryspiv:
Yak z kimnaty vyide, na porozi stane,
Az blyshchyt' krasoyu shyrochin riky,
A yak usmichnet'sya, shche y z-pid loba hlyane:
"Choch skachy u vodu" – kazut' parubky. (2)

Ne pytayte chlopci, chom ya odynokyi,
Berehom tak pizno ydu v samotyni,
Tam na tomu boci zahubyv ya spokiy,
A tudy dorohy ne znayty meni.

Ta nechay smiyet'sya nespokiyna richka,
Vse odno na toy bik ya puti znaydu?
"Chuyesh, chy ne chuyesh, charivna Marichko, (2)
Ya do tvoho sercya kladku pokladu."
