Poletiv by m na kray svita, yak viter, shto v poli litat,
Lem zal my tya, moya chyzo lem zal my tya, zal,
A inakshe by m poyichav (2) v Ameryc'kyi kray.

Hey, dole, dole, de s' sya dole dila?
Cy tya voda vzyala, cy tya ryba z’yila?
Lem zal my tya, zal...
Kit' tya voda vzyala, budu tya hlyadaty, kit' tya ryba z’yila, nyhda tya ne znaty...

Lem zal my tya, moya strano, de zyyut' mamichka z nyankom,
Lem zal my vas, moyi dity lem zal my vas zal,
A inakshe by m poyichav (2) v Ameryc'kyi kray.
