Yichav strilec' na viynonku,
Proshchav svoyu divchynonku:
– Proshchay, mylenka, chornobryvenka,
Ya ydu v chuzu storononku.

Day my, divchyno, chustynu,
Moze, ya v polyu zahynu,
Temnoyi nochi pokryyut' ochi,
Lekshe v mohyli spochnu.

Dala divchyna chustynu –
Strilec' u boyu zahynuv.
Pokryly ochi temnoyi nochi,
Lekshe v mohyli spochynuv.

Lychiyi lyudy nasylu
Vzyaly neshchasnu divchynu,
Tam sered polya hnet'sya topolya
Ta y na strilec'ku mohylu.
