A v dyad'ka, v dyad'ka
Pid viknom yamka.
Dyad'ko napyvsya,
V yamku vvalyvsya.
Dyadyna shukala,
Tudy popala.
U yamci lezyt',
Lezyt' ta y kryachtyt'.
Ne moze vstaty,
Kolyadky daty.
A cherez porih
Pryishov yich nebih,
Pryamo do chaty
Kolyaduvaty.
– Ya kolyaduyu,
Kovbasu chuyu.
A na polyci
Ye palyanyci.
A u hamanyci
Lezat' chervonci.

Oy nema, nema
Nikoho doma.
Dyad'ko na bazar
Poviz sviy tovar.
Tovar prodaye,
Hroshi rachuye.
Kuplyaye sobi
Parochku voliv.
Siri, polovi
Dodomu poviv.
– Hey, idit', voly,
Ta y cherez doly.
V yarma stavaty,
Pole oraty.
Pole oraty,
Chlib zasivaty.
Zyto, pshenycyu,
Vsyaku pashnycyu.
A v poli zerno,
A v chati dobro.
