Shcho ya budu bidnyi diyav

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

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

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

Oi bahachi, bahachi,
Tak sya vamy tishu,
Znimu vashi kozuhy,
Na bantah povishu.

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

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

Posuvaites, bahachi,
Moya bida vmerla,
Vpala zhory do komory
Ta i nohy zaderla.
