Yak-yem yshov z Hameryky,
Z toy zeliznoy, z toy fabryky.
Ruchky sya mi zraduvaly,
Ze robotu ponyachaly.
Yak-yem pryishov do Nev-Yorku,
Do ahenta po shifkartu.
Ahenty sya mya pytayut,
Chy ya mam tysyach talyariv?
Ne pytaytesya mya o to,
Mam ya sriblo, mam ya zloto.
Yak-yem sidav na to more,
Struchnilo mi serce moye.
Boze, Boze, yak sya boyu,
Yak preplyvu totu vodu?
Yuz-yem pryishov sered morya,
Nych ne vydno – nebo, voda.
Yak-yem pryishov do Hamburku,
To-m zapomnuv o frasunku.
Yak-yem pryishov do Berlina,
Vypyv-yem sy pohar vyna.
Pohar vyna krayovoho,
Az mi serce ocholodlo.
Yak-yem pryishov do Krakova,
Chekala mya zena moya.
Dity mene ne poznaly,
Bo od mene povtikaly.
– Dity, dity, ya vash tato,
Ne bylo mya shtyri lyata.
