Yichaly kozaky iz Donu dodomu,
Pidmanuly Halyu, zabraly z soboyu.
Oy ty, Halyu, Halyu z molodaya,
Pidmanuly Halyu, zabraly z soboyu.

Poyichaly z namy, z namy kozakamy,
Luchshe tobi bude, chym v ridnoyi mamy.
Oy ty, Halyu, Halyu z molodaya,
Luchshe tobi bude, chym v ridnoyi mamy.

Vezly, vezly Halyu temnymy lisamy,
Pryv’yazaly Halyu do sosny kosamy.
Oy ty, Halyu, Halyu z molodaya,
Pryv’yazaly Halyu do sosny kosamy.

Rozbrelys' po lisu, nazbyraly chmyzu,
Pidpalyly sosnu vid hory do nyzu.
Oy ty, Halyu, Halyu z molodaya,
Pidpalyly sosnu vid hory do nyzu. (ostanni 2 ryadky – 2)

Horyt', horyt' sosna, horyt' ta palaye,
Krychyt' Halya krykom, krychyt' promovlyaye.
Oy ty, Halyu, Halyu z molodaya,
Krychyt' Halya krykom, krychyt' promovlyaye.

Chto u lisi bude, toy mene pochuye,
Toy, chto dochok maye, chay yich nauchaye.
Oy ty, Halyu, Halyu z molodaya,
Toy, chto dochok maye, chay yich nauchaye. (ostanni 2 ryadky – 2)
