A v yednim seli nedaleko Dubna
Vandruvala para z sobov neshlyubna:
Hryc'ko z Maruchoyu,
A z svoyoyu chernuchoyu
Shukaty sy miscya.

Ta znayshla sy misce u yednoho pana,
Daruvav yim toy pan kozu i barana;
Hryc'ko vhoru ide,
Shumyt', bubnyt', kuda ide,
Shcho v velykim shchastyu.

Daruvav yim toy pan ishche i telycyu;
A Marucha kaze: dobre nam tu, Hrycyu!
Hryc'ko vhoru ide,
Shumyt', bubnyt', kuda ide,
Shcho v velykim shchastyu.

Oy zachav ze Hryc'ko o chati myslyty,
Pishov vin do pana o nyu ze prosyty.
Hryc'ko vhoru ide,
Shumyt', bubnyt', kuda ide,
Shcho v velykim shchastyu.

Tam ze yeho zinka ta y ne darmuvala,
Psam yisty varyla, z dvorakamy hulyala.
Hryc'ko vhoru ide,
Shumyt', bubnyt', kuda ide,
Shcho v velykim shchastyu.

I tam sya do Hryc'ka svyni zbihaly,
Hryc'kovi z zinkoyu meshkaty ne daly.
Hryc'ko z sela ide,
Myslyv, shcho zle bude,
Musiv utikaty.
