Chervona kalyna, chom ne procvitayesh,
Chy vitru boyishsya, chy doshchu chekayesh?
Vitru ne boyusya, doshchu ne chekayu,
Stoyu ta y dumayu, yak ya cvisty mayu.

Zacvitu ya bilo, usi mene znayut',
Zacvitu chervono, divky oblamayut'.
Moloda divchyno, chom stoyish – dumayesh,
Chom stoyish dumayesh, koho vyhlyadayesh?

Ya stoyu dumayu i dumaty budu,
Ya z tebe, kozache, povik ne zabudu.
Lyubyla ya chlopcya, chotiv mene vzyaty,
Ne pozvolyv otec' shche y ridnaya maty.

Ne pozvolyv otec' shche y ridnaya maty,
Shche y rid ne pozvolyt', divchynonku vzyaty.
Kudy ydesh, kozache, vorota mynayesh?
Ya z tvoya divchyna, chiba ty ne znayesh?
Ya z tebe lyubyla i lyubyty budu,
Ya z tebe, kozache, povik ne zabudu.
