Ameryku-yem zraizoval

Ameryku-yem zraizoval,
Any centa ne zhazdoval,
Hei, any centa, any stovku,
Shykuyut nya do Nev-iovku.

U Nev-iorku shyf ryhtuyut,
Shto nya na nii vyshykuyut,
Hei, ahenty shya dohvaryayut,
Ze shyfkartu pre nya mayut.

Yak-yem pryshol sered morya,
Shyfkapytan na nas volal:
– Hei, hlopci, hlopci, pomolte shya,
Hromy byyut, topyme shya.

Yak-yem pryshol na krai morya,
Shyfkapytan na nas volal:
– Hei, z Bohom, z Bohom, shyfo stara,
Bo ya idu uz do krayu.

Yak-yem pryshol do Berlyna,
Dal ya sobi pohar vyna,
Hei, pohar vyna chervenoho,
Az my lychko zrum’yanilo.

Yak-yem pryshol do toi Prahy,
Pytaly shya, cy-yem zdravyi.
– Hei, zdravyi, zdravyi, hvala Bohu,
Na chupasi idu domu.

Yak-yem ishol prez Koshyci,
Dal-yem vlyaty do flyashyci,
Hei, slyvovyci, terkelyci
Ta toi nashoi sharkanyci.

Yak-yem pryshol do Pryashova,
Chekala nya sestra moya:
– Hei, vytai, vytai, mylyi bratu,
Chto tobi dal na shyfkartu?

Yak-yem pryshol do valala,
Chekala nya maty stara:
– Hei, vytai, vytai, chelyadnyku,
Ty neshchasnyi vandrivnyku!
