Plyne bilyi choven, chvylechka kolyshe,
Chvylechka hoydaye;
Plyne bilyi choven, viter ledve dyshe,
Ledve povivaye.
Biliyi chmarynky, lebedyni kryla
Uhori hulyayut',
Dovhoyu styahoyu, shcho zoryu pokryla,
Misyacya syahayut'.
Misyachenko svitlo i rozeve, y sribne
Kyda-rozsypaye,
I ryachtyt', i syaye svitlo teye dribne,
Yak vohon palaye.
Het' daleko v mori korabli vydniyut'.
Bachu zdalechenka,
Yak vyrazno shchohly tonkiyi chorniyut'
Proty misyachenka.
Plynmo het' za teye korabelne misto,
Tam, de nam prekrasna
Dorizenka syaye, de pala ohnysto
Stella maris yasna.
