Mav ya raz divchynonku chepurnenku,
Lyubu shchebetushechku rum’yanenku.

Pryspiv:
Hey, ha, u-cha-cha,
Divchyno-rybchyno moloda.

Posylav starostiv u nedilyu.
Dumav, pohulyayemo na vesillyu.

Dumav povernutysya z rushnykamy,
A to povernulysya z harbuzamy.

Chotiv ya vtopytysya z toyi zlosty,
Ta voda cholodnaya lomyt' kosty.

Chotiv ya zastrilytys' prosto v hrudy,
Ta boyavs', shcho huku bohato bude.
