Prodai, mylyi, siri bychky

Prodai, mylyi, siri bychky,
Kupy meni cherevychky,
Za sim hroshei politychky –
Shnurovani cherevychky.

Prodai, mylyi, shche i telycyu,
Nabery my na spidnycyu,
Na spidnycyu, na halany,
Shchob sya ljudy dyvuvaly.

Prodai, mylyi, vivcyu-yarku,
Prybery mya, yak fiyalku,
I dlya tebe krashche bude,
Yak ya vyidu mezy ljudy.

Prodav mylyi siri bychky,
Kupyv myli[i] cherevychky,
Za sim hroshei politychky –
Shnurovani cherevychky.

Prodav mylyi shche i telycyu,
Nabrav myli[i] na spidnycyu,
Na spidnycyu, na halany,
Az sya ljudy dyvuvaly.

Prodav mylyi vivcyu-yarku,
Prybrav mylu, yak fiyalku:
– Teper, myla, pryberysya
I na sebe podyvysya!

Yak sya myla moi prybrala,
Sila sobi, zadumala:
– Chym by to rozpalyty,
Syakyi-takyi borshch zvaryty?

Zapryahaye mylyi mylu,
Yide z neyu u dubynu:
– Tyahny, myla, yak ti bychky,
Bo ty mayesh cherevychky!

Pryyihaly u lisok,
Prypnyav mylu za dubok:
– Postii, myla, postii, hov!
Nai naberu firu drov!

Yak nabrav vin firu drov,
Zapryahaye mylu znov:
– Tyahny, myla, yak ti bychky,
Bo ty mayesh cherevychky!

Pryyihaly na selo, –
Svysnuv mylu u cholo:
– Trymai-trymai, moya myla,
Shchob-s dyshla ne zlomyla!

Yak pryyihaly dodomu,
Daye mylii shche i solomu:
– Yiz, myla, yak ti bychky,
Bo ty mayesh cherevychky!

– Prodai, mylyi, cherevychky,
Kupy syaki-taki bychky,
Shchob ya z lisa ne vozyla,
Tobi styda ne robyla.
