– Oy, kumonko-susidonko, hryzota, hryzota,
Des' podilas' moya kurka chubata, chubata.

Chorna kurka, bili p’yurka i chervonyi hrebinec',
Chy ne vlizla moya* kurka v vash hornec'**?

Podyvylas' kuma kumi miz horshky, miz horshky,
Z yeyi kurky chubatoyi lysh nizky, lysh nizky!

– Oy, susido, susidonko, ne poviday nikomu,
Nap’yemosya horivonky potomu, potomu.

Nap’yemosya horivonky i medu, i medu,
Ya vze bilshe vashoy kurky ne vkradu, ne vkradu!
