Koby tviy vechir, koby nayshvydshe,
Shchob cherez kladochku ity,
Shchob zanechaty teye kochannya,
Shchob za Halynu zabuty.

Ne budu, Halyu, tebe manuty,
Noza do sercya prykladat'.
A chochu, Halyu, tobi skazaty,
Shcho budu tebe pokydat'.

Shukay, Halyno, sobi druhoho,
Bo ya znayshov sobi druhu,
Bilshe ne budem z toboyu, Halyu,
Stoyat' v vyshnevomu sadu.

Bizyt' Halyna berehom shvydko
Tam, de stoyat' dva korabli,
Skochyla v vodu, serce zastylo,
Znayshla prytulochok sobi.

Bizyt', Vanyushka berehom richky,
Vyinyav platok iz rukava,
Kynuv na vodu – zabery, Halyu,
Ce tviy platok, shcho ty dala.

Zabery, Halyu, zakutay serce,
Shchob ne zchornilo u vodi,
Chorni brovy, lychko rum’yane,
Shchob ne torkalys' do zemli.
