Zadumav didochok, zadumav zenytsya

Zadumav didochok, zadumav zenytsya.
Oi siv, dumav, dumav, zadumav zenytsya.

Staroyi ne hochu, moloda ne pide;
A hoch vona pide, to i ne lyaze spaty;

A hoch lyaze spaty, to i ne obernetsya;
A hoch i obernetsya, to i ne pociluye;

Oi hoch pociluye, odvernetsya, spljune:
– Oi u tebe, didu, capynaya boroda,

Capynaya boroda, ovechaya pohoda,
A sovyni ochi, nedobri do nochi.

Poyihav didochok vranci na torzochok,
Ta kupyv nahaiku, dobruyu drotyanku,

Ta udaryv mylu vin po pravomu plechu.
– Oi u tebe, didu, shovkovaya boroda,

Shovkovaya boroda, a panskaya pohoda,
Sokolyni ochi, dobryi did do nochi.
