Yakos' desyat' halychan pishly tyahnuty nevid,
Odnoho chvylya zatyahla i yich lyshylos' dev’yat'.

Pryspiv:
Os', shcho zavzdy robyt' z lyud'my lyubov...

Dev’yat' shchyrych halychan popoyisty sily,
I tut vdavylosya odne – yich vos'mero lyshylos'.

Pryspiv

Halychany u vis'moch pishly na zarobitky
Dvoch bandyty vbyly – shist' povernulos' zvidty.

Pryspiv
Os' nastala temna nich, vsi polyahaly spaty
Shche troye ne prokynulos' – povik budut' lezaty.

Pryspiv
Dilyty hroshi uzyalys' try halychany chytri,
Posvarylysya za nych: ot dvoye uze y mertvi.

Pryspiv

Tut odne halychenya hirko zarydalo,
Shyyu zashmorhom styahlo i sobi skonalo.
