A do mene Yakiv pryhodyv

A do mene Yakiv pryhodyv,
Korobochku rakiv prynosyv!
A ya tiyi raky zabrala,
A Yakova z haty prohnala.

"Idy, idy, Yakove, z haty,
Bo na pechi batko ta maty,
A v zapichku batkovi dity,
Nide tebe, Yakove, dity".

Ne pishov ze Yakiv dodomu,
Ta zaliz u hyzku v solomu,
A sobaky havkaty staly,
Poky batko i maty ne vstaly.

Narobyly halasu dity
Tak, shcho nudno v hati sydity.
Ya zabrala raky u mysku,
Sama pishla spaty u hyzku.

Koly tudy i batko pryhodyat
I u mysci raky znahodyat:
"Chto z toboyu tut zenyhavsya,
I hto prynis raky? Pryznaisya!"

Poky mene batko pytavsya,
A mii Yakiv z hyzky ubravsya,–
Cherez tyn ta cherez horody,
Narobyvshy batkovi shkody.

"Ne pryhod ze, Yakove, nichchyu,
Bo bude storoza pid pichchyu...
Mene batko i maty vse layut,
A shcho tebe niyak ne piimayut!"
