Syny moyi – vy, mov pshenychni zerna,
U svit benteznyi ryasno prorosly,
Vze na shlyachu u vas kolyuchi terny
Tryvohu v kosy mamyni vplely.

Pryspiv:
Zmuznily syly Vashi y holosochky,
Zvablyvyi tenor, zartivlyvyi bas.
Myluyusya i posmichayus' movchky –
Yake to shchastya, shcho ya mayu vas. (ves' kuplet – 2)

Zdayet'sya vchora tepli kolysanky
Ya vam spivav, yak zmovkly solov’yi,
Ne splyu y teper, buvaye do svitanku,
Vse dumayu pro vas, syny moyi.

Pryspiv

Dorosli dity, shkola za plechyma,
Nema v dytynstvo vashe vorottya,
I os' onuk miy, z karymy ochyma,
Vze pershi kroky robyt' u zyttya.
