Bulavochka

Shchos meni na vsih dorohah stalo ne vezty,
Shchos pobilshalo vyboyiv, stalo bilsh tryasty,
Neskladuhy i nepruhy staly doshkulyat,
A na rivnomu prokoly bolyache diimat!..
Ta skazaly ljudy dobriyi, shcho davno meni pora
Prykolot sobi bulavochku,
Ta shche i druhu na dobavochku –
I pide vse na popravochku,
Znime porchu vsyu i vraz!

Pryspiv:
Bulavochko, bulavochko, hai zlytsya vorozbyt –
Vid char ioho, bulavochko, mene uberezy!
Shchob ne zdolav ni pryvorot, ni porcha, ni prystrit –
Chrany mene, bulavochko,
Zavydnykam – udavochka,
Vid nyh, lyhyh, kanavochka,
A mii – hromovidvid!
Chrany mene, bulavochka,
Na chakluniv upravochka,
Vid nyh – tynochok, shavochka...
A mii – hromovidvid!

Ya bulavochku pryshpylju, prylashtuyu tak,
Shchob vid porchi ne strazdaly um i krasota,
Shchoby lyho ne kljuvalo, nache toi korshak,
Shchob vid bid ne vysyhaly tilo i dusha!
Shchoby napasti ta prykrosti ne naskochyly, buva, –
Bud meni mov shchyt, bulavochko,
Mov kolchuzka-bezrukavochka,
Ta shche zastibka v dobavochku...
A vraham bud – bulava! Bulava! Oho-ho!
