Duchmyana nichka z nastoyem chvoyi,
A popid nebom ta y stoyaly dvoye,
Medova nichka krylom nakryla,
A chto z nych mylyi, a chto z nych myla?

Pryspiv:
Nichka, nichka, nichka, nichka charivnycya,
Skilky ty z’yednala odynokych dol
I meni ne spyt'sya, i komus' ne spyt'sya,
Toz pobut' z toboyu, nichenko, dozvol!
Nichka, nichka, nichka, nichka charivnycya,
Ty zyttya zahadku znayesh ne odnu,
Chto tvoyu vidkryye niznu tayemnycyu,
Chto tvoyu piznaye vichnu tayenu? (ost 2 ryadky – 2)

Chornyava nichka, pit'ma zirchasta
Daruyesh smutok i daruyesh shchastya
Bezdonna nichka, vysoki svitky
Yak vyp’yem vyna – ne bachat' vichky
