Sluzyv kozak u viys'ku,
Mav rokiv dvadcyat' try,
Lyubyv kozak divchynu
I z syrom pyrohy.

Pryspiv:
Hey, chula, chula, chula,
Hey, chula, chula ty,
Lyubyv kozak divchynu
I z syrom pyrohy.

Ishov kozak na stezu
Pomezy tereny,
Pobachyv vin divchynu,
Shcho nesla pyrohy.

"Chy znayesh, divchynonko,
Pro moyi mriyi-sny?
Chy znayesh, shcho ya lyublyu
Iz syrom pyrohy?"

Divchyna yak pochula
Kozac'ki mriyi-sny,
To y zrazu z zaprosyla
Na svizi pyrohy.

Sily vony u pari
Blyzesenko vody,
Vona yoho ciluye,
A vin yist' pyrohy.

Daleko des' u poli
Z’yavylys' vorohy.
Zabraly divchynonku
I z syrom pyrohy.

Kozak mav dovhi nohy,
Skakav cherez rovy,
Vin pryletiv do sotni
I kryknuv: "Vorohy!"

Sotnya pishla v ataku,
Pobyla vorohiv,
Zabrala divchynonku,
Y makitru pyrohiv.
