Oy choho ya neshchaslyva, nashcho meni zyty?
Volila b ya z ditochkamy v syriy zemli hnyty.
Mayu muza v Ameryci, desyat' lit nemaye,
Ni do mene, ni do ditey vze sya ne pryznaye.
– Biysya Boha, choloviche, shcho tobi sya stalo,
Chy ce, moze, v Ameryci paperu ne stalo?
Ni do mene, ni do ditey lysta ne napyshesh,
Chy ty vze sya v Ameryci naviky zalyshysh?
Ti dolyary, shcho ty pryslav, ya yich ne propyla,
To ya dity hoduvala, shche y polya kupyla.
– Mama polya nakupyla, postavyla chatu,
Ta pryyizdit' vze dodomu; nash ridnenkyi tatu.
Usi dity mayut' tata, my tata ne mayem,
Yak pryyide tato domiv, my sya ne piznayem.
– Moyi dity, yak syroty, tebe vyhlyadayem,
Kaze mama,– mayem tata,– my tata ne mayem.
Moyi dity ridnenkiyi, tato vas ne znaye,
Bo nash tato v Ameryci druhu mamu maye.
