Kozachenku, kudy idesh

"Kozachenku, kudy idesh?
Nevze zalju ne mayesh?"
"Oi ne plach ze, divchynonko, ne zurys
Ta do moho serdenka pryhornys".

"Ya bez tebe zahynu,
Yak ty pidesh v chuzynu..."
"Oi ne plach ze, divchynonko, ne zurys
Ta do moho serdenka pryhornys".

"Chy tebe lyho zene?
Bachu – zradysh ty mene".
"Ya vernusya, serdenko, voseny,
Yak upade lystyachko z kalyny".

Zdala divka navisna –
Myna osin i vesna.
Nema, nema kozachenka ta i ne chut,
Zliyi ljudy, vorozenky, vze kuyut.

A yak zyto zacvilo,
Pryishla vistka u selo:
"Ne vertatys vze do tebe kozaku –
Zasnuv v stepu vin, serdeha, doviku..."
