Vin lyubyt' lyshatysya odyn
Z zurlyvoyu verboyu
Vidchuvaty chasu plyn.
Torkatys' cholom yiyi kosy,
Vmyvaty yiyi rany teplym
Dotykom rosy.

Pryspiv:
U vitri cim splyve zyttya,
U chvylyach – chas i plach vesny.
Use, shcho ye na ciy vodi –
Yiyi lysh tin, yoho lysh tychi, tychi,
Tychi sny.

Yak vtratyv, to bilsh ne povernesh.
Yakshcho zabuv dorohu,
To ne vernesh, ne vernesh.
Zi shchemom na volyu rvavsya kryk.
Vin tak chotiv vtekty u verbolozy...
Tam i znyk.

Pryspiv

Vin lyubyt' lyshatysya odyn
Z zurlyvoyu verboyu,
Vidchuvayuchy chasu plyn...
