Kukuriku, pivnyku, hayda,
Bula v mene divchyna nayda.
Na kurochci pir’yachko ryaboye,
Lyubimosya, serdenko, nas dvoye!

– Dobryvechir, divchyno, kudy ydesh?
Skazy meni pravdonku, de zyvesh?
– Moya chata, serdenko, kray vody
Z vysokoho dereva – z lobody.

A shche k tomu sinechky pryteshu
Z kudryavoho dereva – komyshu,
Pokladu latonky, latonky
Z kudryavoyi m’yatonky, m’yatonky.

Pokladu krokovci, krokovci
Z kudryavoyi morkovci, orkovci.
– Oy odchyny, divchyno, odchyny!
Sama sobi kryvdonky ne chyny.
