To bulo nezvychne lito, na medach i dykim cviti,
Na travi, rosoyu vmytiy, nastoyalosya.
Sered zasharilych vyshen do mene divchyna vyishla,
U vinku z p’yankoyi m’yaty sudzena moya.

Pryspiv:
Kateryno, chuyesh, klychu, Kateryno,
Vyidy znovu na dorohu, Kateryno,
V zelen-sadi ya chekayu, divchyno moya.
Kateryno, bilyi spohad, Kateryno,
Shchyryi usmich, yasnyi pohlyad, Kateryno,
U prominni yasnoplynnim bachu ya tebe,
U prominni yasnoplynnim, u prominni yasnoplynnim,
Bachu ya tebe.

U vinku z p’yankoyi m’yaty i z prominnya zolotoho,
Poruch mene, yak lebidka, Kateryna yshla.
Ale lito promynulo, zakinchylosya znyvamy,
Yoho vidhomin lyshyvsya tilky v moyich snach.
