Da prosyv mene Herasym,
Oy shob ya pishla hraty z nym.

A ya z yoho ne lyublyu,
Oy hraty z nym ya ne pidu.

Ty kozache chornousyi,
Oy choho v tebe zupan kucyi?

Mene divky pidpoyily,
Oy zupan meni pidkroyily-pidrizaly.

Boday taya okolila,
Oy zupan meni pidkroyila-pidrizala.

Yest' u mene kopa zyta,
Oy bude v mene svyta shyta.

Yest' u mene kupa hroshey,
Oy bude v mene zupan dovshyi.

Ishov kozak dolynoyu,
Oy kosyv travku sokyroyu-toporom.
