Vylitaye sokil
Z-za synoyi chmary,
Shukaye matinka
Svoyiy donci pary.

Shukaye, shukaye
Bahac'koho syna.
– Ydy, donyu, za noho,
Budesh hospodynya.

– Ne chochu ya, mamo,
Bahac'koho syna,
Bo mene kochaye
Bidnyi syrotyna.

Kochaye, kochaye
I dumaye braty,
Ne mishay kochannyu,
Moya ridna maty.

Bo yak budesh, maty,
Lyubovi mishaty,
To ya skazu chlopcyam
Yavora rubaty.

To ya skazu chlopcyam
Yavora rubaty,
Yavora zrubaty,
Trumnu zbuduvaty.

Trumnu zbuduvaty
Na chotyry boky,
Mene zachovaty
U dvadcyat' dva roky.
