Navaryla pyrozenkiv ya z samoho syra,
Polyubyla shmarovoza, dole neshchaslyva.

Ya shmaroviz u dorozi yak lito, tak zyma,
A ya, bidna syrotonka, hospodaryu sama.

Navaryla pyrozenkiv ya z samoho syra,
Chto my pryide na vecheryu, tomu budu myla.

Zaprosyla sy dyachenka na tuyu vecheryu,
Chort nese shmarovoza, dole neshchaslyva.

– Svyatyi Boze, svyatyi kripkyi, a ty, dyache, zvidky,
Cho’ ty sydysh kolo stola, kolo moyi zinky?

Pishov ze ya shmaroviz do stayni, do koney,
Vybrav sobi toy shmaroviz chystyi kil dubovyi.

Ta yak uzyav dyachenka kolom obertaty:
– Proshu, dyache, pesi synu, bilshe ne buvaty.

Oy doshch ide, rosa pade z vysokoyi hirky,
Bizyt' dyachok-neborachok vid chuzoyi zinky.

Pryishov, pryishov ya dyachenko pid novuyu shkolu:
– Otvorit' my, chlopci, shkolu, bo ya ledve stoyu.

Lipshe bulo doma yisty ya kysil bez soli,
Niz v chuzoyi zinky yisty pyrohy na stoli.
