Chy vy, chlopci, spaly, chy vy v karty hraly,
Shcho vy Ukrayinu moskalyam viddaly?

Pryspiv:
Oy dana, oy dana, oy dana, oy dana,
Shcho vy Ukrayinu moskalyam viddaly, raz, dva, try.

A my ani spaly, ani v karty hraly,
Lyshe, molodeyki, komandy na maly.

Yak persha komanda z namy voyuvala,
A druha komanda nichoho ne znala.

Okopy, okopy, zal vas pokydaty,
Yak vas bulo tyazko vzymi buduvaty.

My vas buduvaly yak litom, tak zymov,
A teper lyshayem za odnu chvylynu.

Tam pid Perymyshlem vysoka mohyla,
A tam spochyvaye vsya strilec'ka syla.
