Ta ’dbayesh mene, moya maty

– Ta ’ddayesh mene, moya maty,
Moloduyu.
Ta i dai meni zozulenku
Sadovuyu.

– Ta nashcho z tobi zozulenka
Sadovaya,
Yak u tebe shche i svekruha
Molodaya?

Ta pizno lyaze, rano vstane,
Tebe zbude.
Sama pide do susida
Ta i osude:

– Ta sonlyveye, linyveye
Chuzeye dytya,
Ishche sonce ne zohode,
Vze i spaty lyaha.

– Ta oi ne virte, susidonky,
Svekrusi moyii,
A povirte, susidonky,
Meni molodii.
