Oy kray nyvonky try divchynonky len rvaly,
A dorohoyu sichovi strilci mandzaly:

– Oy pomahay, Bih, myli divchata, len rvaty,
Chy pozvolyte na tiy nyvonci spochyty?

– Oy chomu z by ni, strilchyky myli, vam sisty,
Ta shche rozkazit' pro nashych brativ nam visty.

– Oy visty nashi, divchata myli, sumnenki –
Zlozyly brattya holovy za kray ridnenkyi.

Po tiy vistonci divchata slozy ronyly,
Sichovych strilciv, chlopciv-molodciv, prosyly:

– Viz'mit' nas, strilci, chlopci-molodci, z soboyu,
Chay zastupymo ci ryady brativ soboyu.

Oy vyishla, vyishla starenka maty len rvaty,
A yeyi doni voroni koni sidlaty.
