Yak ljubyv ya Katerynu

Yak ljubyv ya Katerynu,
Znav yiyi bilu hlynu,
Nosyv yii ya hroshenyata,
Kupyv yii ya chobotyata,
Nosyv salo, nosyv svichky,
Kupyv yii ya cherevychky,
Kosyv zyto shche i pshenycyu,
Kukurudzu i sochevycyu,
I shche ya yii telya pryper,
Ledve prynis, trohy ne vmer.
A vona, ..., izminyla
Ta shtyroh razom poljubyla:
Poljubyla tilky svata,
Hrycka, Fedka shche i Kindrata.
A teper ya krychat budu,
Ta ishche i hukaty budu,
Ta vse na tu Katerynu:
– Viddai, ..., bilu hlynu,
Viddai meni hroshenyata,
Viddai meni chobotyata,
Viddai salo, viddai i svichky,
Viddai, viddai cherevychky,
Viddai zyto shche i pshenycyu,
Kukurudzu i sochevycyu,
Viddai meni i telya teper,
Shcho ya kolys prynis, trohy ne vmer.
