Tancyuvala ryba z rakom,
A petrushka z pasternakom,
A cybulya z chasnykom,
A divchyna z kozakom!
Cybulya dyvuyet'sya,
Yak choroshe tancyuyet'sya.

Chodyt' harbuz po horodu –
Pytayet'sya svoho rodu:
– Oy chy zyvi, chy zdorovi,
Vsi rodychi harbuzovi,
Obizvalas' zovta dynya:
– Oy ya tvoya hospodynya;
Obizvalys' ohirochky:
– A my tvoyi syny y dochky!

Obizvalys' buryaky,
Harbuzovi svoyaky:
– Usi zyvi i zdorovi,
Vsi rodychi harbuzovi!
