Yak pishov ya za hrybamy

Yak pishov ya za hrybamy, za hrybamy,
Zustriv divku miz dubamy, miz dubamy.
Ya na neyi zadyvyvsya, zadyvyvsya,
Cherez neyi z shlyahu zbyvsya, z shlyahu zbyvsya.
Ho-ho-ho! Cha-ha-ha!
Zabludyvsya nesprosta.

Zamist stezky do dibrovy, do dibrovy,
Proklyatushchi chorni brovy, chorni brovy
Zamanyly do lishchyny, do lishchyny,
Do horoshoyi divchyny, do divchyny.
Ho-ho-ho! Cha-ha-ha!
Zamanyla kozaka.

– Lishchynonko, hnysya nyzche, hnysya nyzche;
Divchynonko, sunsya blyzche, sunsya blyzche,
A divchyna: "Oh, odnache, oh, odnache,
Nedotepa ty, kozache, ty, kozache!"
Hi-hi-hi! Cha-ha-ha!
Zasmiyalas i vtekla.
Eh-ma-a! Eh-ma-a!
Nedotepa! Oh-ho-ha!
