A vze chuzi zonky
Konopelky berut',
Moya chepurushka
Y ne podumuvaye.

Pryspiv:
Vona mnet'sya ta tret'sya,
Vona duma, shcho mynet'sya,
Vona duma shche y hadaye,
Svoyu dolyu proklynaye:
– A shchob tebe, dole,
Ta boday tebe, dole,
Yak ty mene porodyla
Na neshchasnuyu dolyu,
Na velykuyu muku,
Shcho y uzyav chepuruchu.
Chepuruchu vzyav – naviky propav!
Naviky-vikov zostavs' durakom.

A vze chuzi zonky
Konopelky tyahnut',
Moya chepurucha
Y ne podumuvaye.

A vze chuzi zonky
Konopelky tchut',
Moya chepurucha
Y ne podumuvaye.
