Marusyna kozaka lyubyla,
Vona yoho v chatu spat' vodyla.

Ta y zabula holubiv prohnaty,
Shchob ne huly vony kolo chaty.

Shchob ne huly vony kolo chaty,
Ne davaly kozakovi spaty.

Sama vstala – yoho ne zbudyla,
Vyishla z chaty – vikonce zakryla.

Vze y kozaky konykiv sidlaly,
Do Marusy "proshchay" ne skazaly.

– Proshchay, proshchay, ty z moya Marusya,
Ya do tebe bilshe ne vernusya.
