Zelenaya lishchynonko

Zelenaya lishchynonko,
Chom ne horysh, ta vse kuryshsya;
Hei, molodaya ta divchynonko,
Choho plachesh, choho zuryshsya?

Oi koly b ya bula suha,
To b horila, ne kurylasya;
Hei, koly b znala, shcho za nym ya budu,–
Ne plakala b, ne zurylasya!

Oi u brodu beru vodu,
Na tim boci – moyi kari ochi:
Tam kozachenko konya napuvaye
Ta na cei bik pohlyadaye.

"Koly b meni novyi chovnyk
Ta nove shche i veselechko,–
Siv by, poyihav na toi berizechok,
De divchyna, moye serdechko!"

"Nashcho tobi novyi chovnyk
I noveye ta veselechko?
Hlyan, podyvysya zdaleku na mene,
Kozachenku, moye serdechko!"
