Yak na nebi chmara ta y na radist' stala –
Nad vertepom zvizda yasna ves' svit osiyala.

De Chrystos rodyvsya – Dyevoy oplatyvsya,
Yak cholovik pered Bohom, pered myrom yavyvsya.

Pastushka z yahnyatkom pered tym dytyatkom
Na kolinco prypadaly, Hospoda proslavlyaly.

– Oy Boze, nash caryu, nebesnyi sochvalyu,
Poshly lito shchaslyvoye vsyakomu chrystyyanu.
