Letila zozulya
Ta y stala kuvaty.
Oy to ne zozulya –
To ridnaya maty.

Oy to ne zozulya –
To ridnaya maty.
Vona pryletila
Dochku ryatuvaty.

– Yakby-s znala, mamo,
Yaka meni bida,
To by-s peredala
Horobchykom chliba.

Horobchykom chliba,
Holubkoyu soli,
Oy mamo z, ty, mamo,
Yak tyazko v nevoli.

Letila zozulya
Ta y stala kuvaty.
Oy to ne zozulya –
To ridnaya maty.

Oy to ne zozulya –
To ridnaya maty.
Vona pryletila
Dochku ryatuvaty.
