Shcho ya budu bidnyi diyav,
Yak zyma zaviye,
Ni kozucha, ni divchyny,
Shcho mene zahriye.

Pryspiv:
Oy nu? Ta nu, nu!
Shcho mene zahriye.

Pryishla zyma, pryishla
A ya v kapelyusi.
Ya shche krashche pohulyayu,
Yak bahach v kozusi.

Oy bahachi, bahachi,
Tak sya vamy tishu,
Znimu vashi kozuchy,
Na bantach povishu.

Ya v zeleniy polonyni
Syvu klyachu bachu,
Zaraz budu tancyuvaty,
Vstupysya, bahachu.

Bo ty bahach, yak kopach,
Do roboty y stroyu,
Stav, naduvsya sered chaty,
Nache kupa hnoyu.

Posuvaytes', bahachi,
Moya bida vmerla,
Vpala zhory do komory
Ta y nohy zaderla.
