Oi hai, maty [1]

Oi hai, maty, oi hai, maty,
Oi hai zelenenkyi...
Oi poyihav z Ukrayiny
Kozak molodenkyi.

Vyyizdzavshy, shapku znyavshy,
Nyzenko vklonyvsya:
"Oi proshchaite, slobozany,
Moze, z kym svaryvsya!"

Choch svaryvsya, ne svaryvsya,
Aby pomyryvsya,
Yak vyyihav na bytyi shlyah –
Slizonkamy vmyvsya.

"Prylyvaite dorizenku,
Shchob ne kurylasya;
Rozvazaite ridnu nenku,
Shchob ne zurylasya!

Prylyvaite dorizenku,
Shcho kurytsya kurno;
Rozvazaite divchynonku,
Shcho zurytsya zurno!"

Prylyvaly dorizenku –
Vona vse kurytsya;
Rozvazaly ridnu nenku –
Vona vse zurytsya.

"Ne zal meni dorizenky,
Shcho pylom prypala,
A zal meni divchynonky,
Shcho durno propala!"
