Zahotila stara babka sylne bahatity,
Posadyly kurop’yatu, shchob vyvela dity.
Shche z bo ne svit, shche z bo ne svit, shche z bo ne svitaye,
A vze baba kurop’yata nadvir vyhanyaye.
A vyhnala stara baba kurop’yata pasty,
Sama sila pid pryzboyu kuzelynu pryasty.
Chmarka ide, hmarka ide, doshchyk nakrapaye,
A vze baba kurop’yaty do haty zhanyaye.
A shche z ne dohnala, troye nadtoptala,
Na chetverte spitknulasya, a na p’yate vpala –
Vsya pracya propala.
Sila babka na pechi ta i borshchyk hlepche,
A kurycya pid polom ta i do baby shepche:
– Oi babusyu, babusyu, shcho budesh robyty?
Yak pryyide did iz lisa, bude babu byty.
A pryyihav did iz lisa do svoioho domu,
Pytayetsya svoyei babky pro svoyu hudobu.
– Oi didusyu, didusyu, ne vynna ya budu:
Ya vyhnala nadvir pasty,– navrochyly ljudy.
A vyskochyv did nadvir ta vhopyv prytyku,
Pobyv babu, polomyv do samoho pypu.
– Bodai tobi, didusyu, prava ruka vsohla:
Pobyv mene, polomyv, malo ya ne zdohla.
Bodai tobi, didusyu, holovka oblizla:
Pobyv mene, polomyv, shcho i z pechi ne zlizla.
Sila babka pid prypichkom az u zatdiyinku,
Yak pohlyane did na babu – shche i krashcha za divku.
– A vberysya, babusyu, v zeleneye zillya.
Nehai ze ya povedu hoc raz na vesillya.
Zahotila vraza baba sylne molodity,
Natykala za halyavy zelenoyi ruty.
Vzyav did babku za ruchku popid chesnu vrodu,
Vyviv yiyi na mistok – shelep k chortu v vodu!
– Otut, babko, kaisya, otut ne lyakaisya,
Otut bizucha vodycya, otut i vmyvaisya.
A shcho baba blysne, to did druchkom svysne,
Bulkotala, bulkotala, bo vze rakom stala.
A stav did na mosti ta v doloni pleshche:
– Chvalju Boha, vtopyv babu, ozenyusya ya shche.
A ide did dodomu ta tropachka rize,
A yak hlyane nazad sebe – baba z vody lize.
Vzyav did babu za ruchku, zaviv yiyi u svitlycyu,
Povazav, yak sam znav, pervu molodycyu –
Yak sya did ohlyadiv, k chortu ne hodytsya.
Vzyav did babu za ruchku ta poviv yiyi v sad –
Koljuchyi vynohrad: – Otut, babka, kaisya,
Po cim vynohradi hoc raz pokachaisya.
Oi misyacya oktyabrya prypala porosha,
Tym did babku poljubyv, shcho babka horosha:
I slipa, i kryva, shche i bez ruky pravoi,–
Oi shche z bo ya ne vydav takoi babky bravoi.
A did babku sporyadyv na prypichku posadyv,
Spravyv yii kozushok to z kycok, to z pacok,
Aby babi kozushok.
– Oi dyvysya, babusyu, yak to krasno v kozusi.
