Oi ty, brate Musiyu

Oi ty, brate Musiyu,
Chy bachyv ty chudasiyu?
Siv ya, dumav, dumav,
Ta i nevolya moya.

Shcho cholovik pry stepu
Ovodamy orav,
Ovodamy orav,
Komaramy pohanyav.

A muhamy volochyv,
A slozamy prymochyv.
Siv ya, dumav, dumav,
Ta i nevolya moya.

Oi ty, brate Musiyu,
Chy bachyv ty chudasiyu?
Chy ty bachyv chudasiyu?
Chy bachyv ty chudaka?

Shcho cholovik pry stepu
Sokyroyu yachmin tyav,
Sokyroyu yachmin tyav,
Poyasamy pov’yazav,

A holkoyu ponosyv,
Horobcyamy povozyv.
Siv ya, dumav, dumav,
Ta i nevolya moya.

Oi ty, brate Musiyu,
Chy bachyv ty chudasiyu?
Yak popova kobyla
Po horodi hodyla.

Po horodi hodyla,
Porosyata vodyla.
Porosyata pyskotyat,
Vony yisty hotyat.

Vony yisty zahotily,
I znyalysya, poletily.
Siv ya, dumav, dumav,
Ta i nevolya moya.

I znyalysya, poletily
Ta i na dubi vony sily.
Siv ya, dumav, dumav,
Ta i nevolya moya.
