– Oy, maty, maty, yest' dyak u chati,
Spivaye, zartuye, ne daye spaty.
I yeshche, maty, hraye zo mnoyu!
– Byi yeho, donyu, choch kocherhoyu!
– Boyusya, maty, shchob ne vkalyaty,
Volyu ya dyachenka pociluvaty.
Zupan novenkyi, dyak molodenkyi, –
Boyusya, maty, shchob ne vkalyaty.
Ba yeshche, maty, budu prochaty
U postilonku do sebe spaty.
– Oy, donyu, donyu, bude z bidoyu,
Koly dyak lyaze spaty z toboyu.
– Oy, maty, maty, budu tryvaty,
Choch mene bude dyak zachipaty.
– Choch dyak zartuye, ale ne pustuye,
Nechay ze, donenko, perenochuye.
Poty sya hraly, poky ne spaly,
Zaky-m sya z soboyu ne obiznaly.
Obiznavshysya, pochne dyak spaty,
A divchynonka pochne plakaty.
Divchyna drimle, a dyak spivaye,
Pohlyada v vikonce, chy vze svitaye.
– Oy yeshche, dyache, barzo ranenko,
Prysunsya do mene, moye serdenko!
Prospavshysya, dyak pochne spivaty,
A divchynonka pochne plakaty:
– Oy dyache, dyache biloho lycya,
Podobno z mene yuz molodycya.
Oy pryishla maty doni pytaty:
– Chy harazd bulo, donenko, spaty?
– Oy spala-m, spala-m, led'-m ustala,
Toze-m sya maty strachu nabrala!
– Oy, donyu, donyu, zartu ne znayesh,
Shcho sya tak bardzo dyaka lyakayesh!
