Zazurylasya, zazurylasya ta i bidnenkaya vdova

Zazurylasya, zazurylasya ta i bidnenkaya vdova,
Shcho yii oblyahla, shcho yii oblyahla zelenenka dibrova.
Oi pishla vdova, oi pishla vdova kosaryky naimaty:
Nihto ne hoche, nihto ne hoche bidnoyi vdovy znaty.
Naimyla sobi, naishla sobi dvaicyat kosarykiv i shtyry,
Shchoby skosyly ta i zhromadyly vsi hory ta i dolyny.
Kosari kosyat, kosari kosyat ia vitrec povivaye,
Shovkova trava zelenenkaya na kosy nalyahaye.
Shovkova trava, shovkova trava na kosy nalyahaye,
A mii mylenkyi, chornobryvenkyi i konykom vyhravaye.
– Pokyn, mylenkyi, chornobryvenkyi, konykom vyhravaty,
Chody do mene, molodenkoyi, vecheryu vecheryaty.
– Vecherya dobra, vecherya dobra, vecherya ia i hotova,
Vypala z meni, molodenkomu, na Vkrayinu doroha.
– Tobi doroha, tobi doroha, a meni shlyashok bytyi,
Zalyshim my si, ta z mii mylenkyi, u sim rochku ljubyty.
– Ne zalyshu ti, moya mylenka, poky ti ne distanu,
Ochka chornenki, lychko bilenke ta i horoshoho stanu.
