I viter ne viye, travy ne kolyshe,
A brat do sestryci dribni lysty pyshe.

Oy pyshe vin lysty bilymy rukamy,
Sam umyvayet'sya dribnymy slozamy.

"Sestro z moya, sestro, sestro dorohaya,
Oy choho ty, sestro, taka stara stala?

Oy choho ty, sestro, taka stara stala,
Syniv ne zenyla, dochok ne d’davala?"

"Postarila mene chuza storononka,
Chuza storononka, lyuds'ka robotonka!"
