Chata malenka, zemlya cholodnenka,
Maty stara na kolinach stoyit',
Molyt'sya Bohu, shchob dav dopomohu,
Moze toy Boze pochuye yiyi.

Pryspiv:
Take zyttya...

Maty starenka zitchaye tychenko,
Chuye vona, shcho skoro pomre,
Dity rozbihlysya na try dorohy,
Ta navit' zabuly, de maty zyve.

Pryspiv

Dovho molylas', vze y svichka zhorila.
Slozy vostannye vterla z lycya,
Tycho pishla... Derev’yanoho boha
Dyvlyat'sya ochi bayduzi z chresta.
