Meni maty nakazala,
Shchoby-m muza shanuvala.

A ya yeho shanuvala,
Do otavy prypynala:

– Oy yiz, muzu, travu tuyu,
Zakym borshchu ne zhotuyu.

Zakym borshchu zhotuvala,
Sim raz lyashka ciluvala.

Yak ya sino hromadyla,
Lyashka-m sobi prynadyla.

I shche budu hromadyty,
Shchob druhoho prynadyty.

I v kopyci poskladayu,
Na tret'oho pomorhayu.

Lyashok lyubyi, lyashok mylyi,
Pidu z lyashkom do mohyly.

– Buvay, muzu, zdorovenkyi
I dlya druhoyi mylenkyi!
