My na svit cey ziyshly, iz dytynstva rosly.
I stavaly taki yasnocholi.
A bat'ky yak bat'ky, shcho zmohly te y daly.
Na zyttya, dlya shchaslyvoyi doli.

Nache ptachy buly, shchebetlyvi i my,
Yak chodyly navchatys' do shkoly.
A lita, yak lita, pomachaly krylmy,
Zal nazad ne vernut'sya nikoly.

Pam’yatayemo vas dorohi vchyteli.
Oy z litamy, yak vy posyvily.
Pryvyvaly lyubov, do svoyeyi zemli,
Iz dobrom do lyudey zyty vchyly.

I chocha vze davno my pishly u svity,
V doli bat'kivs'kyi shlyach prokladaty,
Ale chochet'sya zavzdy do vas nam pryity,
I vid shchyroho sercya obnyaty.
