V dev’yat'sot shtyrnastim roci, yak znyva zachalys',
Dvi studentky ukrayins'ki do strilciv vstupaly.
Stepanivna i Halyechko vzyaly rozmyshlyaty,
Pishly ony dlya vkrayinciv slavy dobuvaty.
A my, bidni ukrayinci, na to ne zvazaly,
Shchob studentky ukrayins'ki slavu zdobuvaly.
Nashi strilci sichoviyi toho sya dizdaly,
Shcho divchata ukrayins'ki rany yim v’yazaly.
A yak nashi tovaryshky vstupyly u boyi,
Zasluzyly za vidvaznist' sribniyi medali.
I tak nashi tovaryshky zavshe voyuvaly,
Shcho v nayhirshi ofenzyvi komandu trymaly.
Po tim mnoho zholosylos' tovaryshok riznych,
Stepanivna i Halyechko – vze ranhy chorunzych.
Ponad nashi tovaryshky revily harmaty –
Stepanivna i Halyechko vmily voyuvaty.
Voyuvaly, dobuvaly i slavu, i volyu,
Ta ne odnu zistavyly mohylu na polyu.
Vysokiyi ti mohyly, de mohlo spochyty
Strilec'keye bile tilo, ranamy pokryte.
V Bolechovi tovaryshky tyazko voyuvaly,
[V] tovaryshky Stepanivny vze volyu zabraly.
Tohdy strilci-ukrayinci revno zaplakaly,
Shcho vze v misti Bolechovi bez mamy zistaly.
A Halyechko – tovaryshka sama sya zistala,
A na misce Stepanivny Dmyterkivna stala.
Desyatnycya Mychaylyshyn i Handzya Dmyterko
Vze chodyly na patrolyu, yak sya tilko smerklo.
Iryna Kuz' i Rysivna vse sluzbu robyly,
To shchodnyny dvi hodyny na posta chodyly.
I tak nashi tovaryshky tyazko voyuvaly,
Shcho moskali, yak dyki psy, vid nych utikaly.
Tovaryshka Stepanivna ne mala nadiyi,
Shchoby teper biduvala v Tashkenti v Aziyi.
Boday ze vas, moskalyky, zinky ne piznaly!
Nashcho vy nam Stepanivnu v nevolyu zabraly?
Oy my by vam, moskalyky, rumu pyty daly,
Shchoby-ste nam Stepanivnu nazad vidoslaly.
Bo my by vam, moskalyky, spokoyu ne daly,
Yakby-ste nam Stepanivnu nazad ne viddaly.
Oy bo nasha Stepanivna v Aziyi biduye
Vid morozu studenoho ta shche y holoduye.
Boday by vas, moskalyky, zemlya ne prynyala:
Cherez vas sya Stepanivna v nevolyu distala.
Day ze, Boze, sto lit zyttya nashiy Stepanivni,
Ona slavy dobuvala cili[y] Ukrayini.
Oy, Hospody mylostyvyi, Svyatyi Mykolayu,
Dopomozy Stepanivni vernutys' do krayu.
Oy prosymo pana Boha y budemo prosyty,
Shchoby z nashov Stepanivnov shche sya zobachyty.
