Tam, popid hay zelenenkyi, zelenenkyi,
Vybyrala divchynonka lon dribnenkyi.

Oy den brala, den stelyla, den stelyla,
Do tychoho Dunayenka hovoryla:

– Oy Dunayu, Dunayenku, tycha voda,
Komu z ya sya spodobayu, oy, moloda.

Chy popovi, chy dyakovi, ne day Boze,
Chy yakomus' hultyayevy,– buty moze.

Ne day mene, moya maty, za piyaka,
Bo prop’ye vsyu hospodarku,– choch by yaka.
