Nad shlyahom, pry dolyni, bilya staroho hraba,
De bila-bila hatka stoyit na samoti,
Zyve tam did ta baba, i kurochka v nyh ryaba,
Vona, mabut, nese yim yayechka zoloti. (2)

I vyshni chornooki stoyat do holodiv.
Chytayutsya patlashky uzdovz vsiyi stezyny,
I stomlenyi leleka spuskayetsya na hliv. (2)

Chyyes dytya pryhodyt, berut ioho na ruky.
A potim dovho-dovho na pryzbi shche sydyat.

A v nyh susidski dity shovkovycyu yidyat.

Doroha i doroha lezyt za harbuzamy.
I htos do kohos yide tym shlyahom zolotym.
Ostannya v sviti kazka sydyt pid obrazamy.
Navshpynky vyhlyadayut zorzyny cherez tyn... (2)
