Cvitut' dryevy-baobaby ryasno u savani,
Zazurylas' divchyna molodaya,
Ne tancyuye, ne spivaye razom z yunakamy,
Pro svoye kochannya dumaye-hadaye...

Pishov lyubko na chuzynu,
Pishov ne prostyvsya,
A pro noho ani chutky, ani zvistky.
Ne pytaysya, moya mamko,
De vin zabaryvsya,
Ide divka stepom, rve lyubystky...

Bilya richky dvi synychky yily polunyci,
Yedna baba stara kaze take:
Ne plach, moya divchynonko,
Ne plach, ne zurysya –
Bytym shlyachom lyubyi dodomu yde...

Zakuvala zozulenka ta y na Zanzibari,
Zaspivala ptashechka na svitanku...
Lyublyu, tya lehinyku, bo mayesh ochi kari,
Podaruyu mylomu vyshyvanku...
