Hey, huk, maty, huk,
De kozaky ydut',
I veselaya
Ta dorizenka
Kuda vony ydut'.

Kuda vony ydut',
Tam bory hudut',
Popered sebe
Ta y vrazych lyashenkiv
Oblavoyu prut'.

Zbyralys' vony
Pid ryasni duby;
Ta y chekayut'
Na pana otamana
Na radu sobi.

Otaman ide,
Yak holub, hude,
A pid biloyu
Ta berezoyu
Holovku klade.

Otamane nash,
Ne dbayesh za nas,
Os' i bach, nashe
Slavne tovarystvo,
Yak rozhardiyash.

Hlyan otamane,
Vze den nastaye,
Uze z nashe
Slavne tovarystvo
Koney sidlaye.

Nechay sidlayut',
Boh pomahaye,
Bo vze shchos'
Moyu ta holovonku
Chmel rozbyraye.

Pomru z ya, pomru,
Ne nazyv slavy,
Bo ne maye meni
Dali uze buty
Bat'kom nad vamy.
