V misyaci iyuli vypala porosha,
Tym did babu polyubyv, shcho baba chorosha!

Vzyav did babu za ruchenku ta y poviv v sadochok:
– Siday otut, moya babko, makovyi cvitochok!

Vzyav did babu za ruchenku ta y poviv v svitlycyu,
Povazaye staryi babu, yak by y molodycyu!

Vzyav did babu za ruchenku, stav pylno dyvyt'sya,
Pryhlyadavsya babi v zuby, az baba y ne hodyt'sya!

Vzyav did babu za ruchenku ta y poviv do brodu,
Vzvivshy z yiyi na mistochok, zopchnuv k did'ku v vodu!

– Otut, babko moya myla, v hrichach svoyich kaysya,
Tut vodycya cholodnenka, troshky pokupaysya!

Stala baba vynuryat', a did zverchu kyyem,
Dotil baba bulkotala, pokil ne propala!
