Sydyt' baba na pechi
Ta y do dida vorkochy.

Pryspiv:
Sudarynya, hey,
Ta y do dida vorkochy.*

– Cho ty, babo, vorkochesh,
Chomu yisty ne chochesh?

– Ya try syny zhoduvala
Ta y holodna ne lyahala.

Teper mayu try nevistky,
Ne daye my zodna yisty.

Odna kaze: ne topyla,
Druha kaze: ne varyla.

Tretya kaze: ya zabula,
Shuruy, babo, tam, de-s bula!

Ya did babu ta y pohladyv,
Na yarmarok poprovadyv.

Yak ya babu ta prodam,
Zroblyu z neyi taraban.

Nichto babu ne kupuye,
Ya did babu kulachkuye.

Nichto baby ne pytaye,
A did babu zavertaye.

A to baba moloda,
Ani kistky, ni rebra.

Ani kistky, ni rebra,
Sama dobra do tyahla.

Ishov did z Peremyshlya,
Vchepylasya baba dyshla.

A did hadav, shcho to loshye,
A to baba sy voloche.
