Oy ce dyvnoye narozdennya Bozoho Syna.
V cey den yoho sporodyla Dyeva Mariya.

Ta y v cey den yoho sporodyla, yasnoho spovyla,
A spovyvshy male dytya, pid chrest vidnesla.

Ta y de uzyalysya try yanholy, stepom letyuchy,
Temnoy nochi, yasnoy zori, chresta hlyadyuchy.

Oy ostrachnulas' Dyeva Mariya cych tr'och yanholiv.
A vony yiy prospivaly: "Oy ne biys' ty nas.

Oy ne biys' ty nas, Dyeva Mariya, – ce yanhols'kyi hlas.
Pryimay dytya narozdene na ruky pry nas".
