Pishov did na hryby, baba na pidpenky,
Baba svoyi posushyla, didovi syrenki.

Baba svoyi posushyla, borshchyku zvaryla,
Vona svoho didunyka na borshch zaprosyla.

Oy dido yist' ta y dido yist', a vse babku chvalyt':
– A to moya babunenka dobre borshchyk varyt'!

Oy koby ty, babunechko, dobryi rozum mala,
Ty by pishla na lotoky ta by-s si skupala.

Pishla baba kupatysya – vodycya prybula,
Did za babov dyvytysya – baba utonula.

Oy ta dido staresenkyi bardzo zazuryvsya:
– Koby meni do m’yasnyci, ya by ozenyvsya.

Oy ide did ya z vesillyam ta v doloni rize,
Vin sya dyvyt' na lotoky – baba z vody lize!

– Oy didunyu, didunechku, harbuz mami tvoyiy,
Lipsha v mene syna dymka, yak u molodoyi!
