Oi p’ye Baida

Oi p’ye Baida med-horilochku,
Ta ne den, ne nichku,
Ta ne hodynochku.

Pryishov do noho car tureckyi:
"Oi shcho z bo ty robysh,
Baido molodeckyi?"

"Oi p’yu, caryu, med-horilochku,
Ta ne den, ne nichku,
Ta ne hodynochku".

"Pokyn, Baido, baiduvaty,
Svatai moyu dochku
Ta idy caryuvaty!"

"Tvoya dochka – pohanaya,
Vsya turecka vira –
Vira proklyataya".

Oi yak krykne car tureckyi
Ta na svoyi sluhy,
Sluhy molodecki:

"Vizmit Baidu, izv’yazite
Ta za rebro hakom,
Hakom zachepite!"

Vzyaly Baidu, izv’yazaly
Ta i za rebro hakom,
Hakom zachipaly.

Vysyt Baida na dubochku
Ta ne den, ne dva,
Ta i ne odnu nichku.

Pryishov do noho car tureckyi:
"Oi shcho ty bachysh,
Baido molodeckyi?"

"Bachu, caryu, dva dubochky,
A na tyh dubochkah
Sydyat holubochky.

Dozvol, caryu, luchka vzyaty
Tobi na vecheryu
Holubochka znyaty!"

Oi yak strelnuv Baida z luka –
Ta popav carya
Pomiz sami vuha,

A carycyu – v potylycyu,
A carevu dochku –
V samu holovochku.

"Tobi, caryu, v zemli hnyty
Baidi molodomu
Med-horilku pyty!"
