Temna nichka, temna,
A cvite romanka,
Ta ya svomu mylenkomu –
Kuma i kochanka.

Temna nichka, temna,
A cvite manula,
Nevelyka lyubov bula,
Koly sya mynula.

Ne zov’yala kvitka,
Lysh popolovila,
A lyubov shche ne mynula,
Lysh sya prytayila.

Temna nichka, temna,
A cvitut' hrinshpany,
Velyka my tuha v serci,
Yak vechir nastane.

Kvity peresiyu,
Rutu peretychu,
A koho ya virno lyublyu,
Do chaty ho klychu.
