Chomu na serci vazko tak, yakshcho ty znovu poruch?
Zastyhla v venach krov,
Pochuy, spivaye sumno yak, i yak hude livoruch,
Vono strazdaye znov.

Pryspiv:
Bo rozumiyu, bez tebe – propadayu,
Z toboyu – pomyrayu,
Ta ne vmiyu bez tebe zyty, znayesh.

Chomu ya tviy – ne znayu, chesno kazuchy, chesno kazuchy,
Lyuby chy vbyi ya budu tviy nezvazayuchy, ni na shcho nezvazayuchy.

Chomu iz koznym krokom ty ne blyzche, a lysh dali?
Nevze nevirnyi shlyach?
Ya tak vtomyvsya vichno yty kriz' tvoyi terny z falshi,
Zabyi ostanniy cvyach – i zakinchy cey zach.
