Kozak uyezaye,
Divchynu brosaye.
– Oy kozache-sokole,
Voz'my mene z soboyu
Na Vkrayinu daleku.

– Divchyna-holubka,
De budemo zyty?
– U stepu pid verboyu,
Yakby, serce, z toboyu
Na Vkrayini dalekiy.

– Divchyna-holubka,
Shcho budemo slaty?
– Kamyshy z lobodoyu,
Yakby, serce, z toboyu
Na Vkrayini dalekiy.

– Divchyna-holubka,
Chym budem vkryvat'sya?
– Choch kozac'koy polonnyu,
Yakby, serce, z toboyu
Na Vkrayini dalekiy.

– Divchyna-holubka,
Shcho budem robyty?
– Budem shyt', vyshyvaty,
Zolote zyto zaty
Na Vkrayini dalekiy.

– Divchyna-holubka,
Shcho budemo yisty?
– Suchari iz vodoyu,
Yakby, serce, z toboyu
Na Vkrayini dalekiy.
