Lastivochka-shchebetushka shchebetala,
Do vikoncya prypadala,
Hospodarya vozbuzdala:
– Oy ustan, ustan, pan-hospodar,
Zasvity svichku voskovuyu,
Chelyad' zbudy moloduyu.
Nechay vona ta y pochode,
Ta y pochode po dvorochku,
Po vyshnevomu po sadochku,
Ta yak bdzola po medochku,
Po chreshchatomu barvinochku.

("Z praznykom, lyudy!
Chay vam shchastya bude!" – promovlyayuchy).
