Tanci po kolu
Tak dyko i strashno
Kruzlyayut' tini
Riznoyi stati
Vohon u dolonyach
Rozkazuye kazku
Pro te yak u lisi
Narodylos' bahattya
Zi snu
Tak cholodno v nebo
Dyvylys' vichnyci
A v vichnycyach zinyci
A v zinycyach kyslyci
Babusi prynosyat' nam
Yabluka y hrushi
I vedut' ditey
V temni chashchi ta pushchi
Lisiv
A potim nadvechir
U pokynutiy chati
Kruzlyayut' po kolu
Chlopci y divchata
I usi vony splyat'
I nichto z nych ne znaye
Shcho yich opoyily
Chornym latattyam
I zillyam
Z prymarnych sniv
Tak sumno vostannye
Volaly korovy
I na chornu vecheryu
Zlitalysya sovy
Krov potekla
Po babusynych rukach
Vony prynosyat' zertvy
Svoyim Boham
Ya bachyv ce sam
A koly my prokynemos'
My vsi budemo spat'...
