Staryi pip, staryi pip, a syvaya boroda

Staryi pip, staryi pip, a syvaya boroda,
Nehai tebe vrazi ljublyat, a ne ya moloda.

Oi yak pishov staryi pip ta i do cerkvy vinchaty,
Pishla ioho matushka ta i do kuma hulyaty.

Povinchavshy, staryi pip ta i ide dodomu,
Pytayetsya susidonky, chy matushka vdoma.

– Yak vy pishly, batyushko, ta i do cerkvy vinchaty,
Pishly vashi matushka ta i do kuma hulyaty.

– Oi vizmu ya, nakynu ya ta i novenku ryasu,
Oi pidu ya, pryvedu ya popadenku nashu.

Shnaryv, shnaryv staryi pip – popadi ne znaishov,
Zachepyvsya za rukav, ta i upav, ta i upav.

– Bodai tebe, matushko, chort uzyav, chort uzyav,
Cherez tebe v novii ryasi rukava vidirvav.

Oi yak pryishla matushka unochi, unochi,
A pip hrope, a pip hrope, yak skazyvsya, na pechi.

– Oi vizmu ya, zasvichu ya voskovuyu svichku,
Oi polizu, oi polizu do popa na pichku.

Ty dumayesh, batyushko, shcho ya v kuma hulyala,
Yak ty vinchav, yak ty vinchav, to ya vzadu stoyala.
