Yak ya buv menshyi,
Zovsim malyi –
Vchodyt' Did Moroz,
Kaze: "Dobryi vechir, moyi syny.
Marry Christmas, pacany!"

Shos' take blyz'ke,
Ochi znayomi –
Os' i znykly vsi strachy:
Schoza na tata
Postat' horbata –
"Marry Christmas, pacany!"

Vsim podarunky,
Meni az dva,
Bratam – iz vaty boroda.
"Hamay-hamay apelsyny, synu,
Marry Christmas, pacany!"

Donyu solodka,
Roky proyshly –
Tym i pam’yatni vony,
Zayde borodatyi,
A ochi znayomi:
"Marry Christmas, pacany!"
