Braty u poli oryut izrannya

Braty u poli oryut izrannya,
Sestra naistarsha nese snidannya.

Yiyi zustrily try nezonati,
Daly divchyni konya derzaty.

A sami sily, snidannya z’yily,
Navit slovechka yii ne povily.

Bachyt divonka, shcho nepravdonka,
Ne bude vkryta yii holovonka.

Kynulas hutko u synye more,
Konya pustyla u chyste pole.

Yak utopala, hirko plakala
Ta i promovlyala – nakazuvala:

Berezu v poli, shchob ne rubaty,
Travku zelenu, shchob ne shchypaty.

Teren u poli shchoby ne rvaty,
Kalynu v luzi shchob ne lamaty.

Teren u poli – divochi ochi,
Trava shovkova – brovy divochi.

Shelest kalyny – rozmova vnochi,
Bereza bila – to stan divochyi.
