Yichav strilec' na viynonku,
Proshchav svoyu divchynonku:
"Proshchay, mylenka, chornobryvenka,
Ya ydu v chuzuyu storononku.

Day my, divchyno, chustynu,
Moze, ya v boyu zahynu –
Temnoyi nochi nakryyut' ochi,
Lehshe v mohyli spochynu."

Dala divchyna chustynu –
Strilec' u boyu zahynuv,
Temnoyi nochi nakryly ochi,
Lehshe v mohyli spochynuv.

Lychiyi lyudy nasylu
Vzyaly neshchasnu divchynu.
Tam, sered polya, hnet'sya topolya,
Ta y na strilec'ku mohylu.
