Ochi, chlopche, zakryvay,
Zasynaty pochynay.
Splyat' davno uze malyata i
Vsi zviryata, y ptashenyata.
Spy, miy ridnyi, zolotyi,
Vnuchok lyubyi, dorohyi.

Sonechko i chmary splyat',
Viterec' y berizky splyat'.
Zironky i misyac' syayut',
Tebe z nichkoyu vitayut'.
Spy, nash lyubyi, dorohyi,
Kozak ridnyi, zolotyi.

Splyat' i hory, i richky,
I smerichenky-svichky.
Spy, kozache, iz tumanom –
Znayu: "Budesh otamanom!"
Spy, synochok dorohyi, –
Mami z tatom ty svyatyi!
