Oy kray sela stoyit' chata.

Pryspiv:
Shchedryi vechir, dobryi vechir!

Pid tu chatu nebahatu,
Pryyichaly try kozaky.
Yak pervyi stav u vorotyach,
A druhyi stav u sinechkach,
A tretiy stav v kinci stola.
Shcho davaty – shcho v vorotyach?
Shcho daryty – shcho u sinyach?
Shcho daryty – v kinci stola?
Shcho v vorotyach – dam rushnychok,
Shcho u sinyach – dam perstnychok,
Shcho u stola – dala slovo.
Slovo dala, z nym i stala.
Z nym i stala, obvinchalas'.
Obvinchalas', poproshchalas'.
Poproshchalas' z usim rodom.
Poproshchalas' z usim rodom
Pered shchedrym Novym hodom.

("Zvinchalas' na Novyi rik
Ta y na dovhyi vik!" – promovlyayuchy).
