Kalyaky-malyaky

Moya ljubov, zyttya moho perlyno,
Hayi zeleni, Vorskla i polya,
Pryvit tobi, kohana Poltavshchyno,
Uklin tobi, matusenko moya!

Pryspiv:
Na maljunkah maljukiv kalyaky-malyaky,
Chtos u Kyyiv, htos u Lviv, my – u Kobelyaky!
Vidpochynemo na Vorskli, pyvo, ryba, raky,
Chtos na more, htos u hory, my – u Kobelyaky!

Lishchynivka, Butenky, Kobelyaky,
Ni, ne vpadu v sumni ya zabuttya,
Moyemu sercyu vy zavzdy odnaki,
Bo sered vas ya rozpochav zyttya.

Pryspiv

Posered vas zrobyv ya pershi kroky,
Proviv dytynstvo, yunist sered vas,
Kosyv pshenycyu na lanah shyrokyh,
Korovy, vivci u otarah pas.

Pryspiv

Sered vas ya pokohav chornyavu,
Chodyv do Vorskly, z neyu ljubuvavs,
Yak v teplyh vodah misyac zolotavyi,
Nenache v kazci, z zoryamy kupavs.

Pryspiv

Taka blyzka ty sercyu v ci hvylyny,
Tvoya zmuznila trudova sim’ya,
Pryimy z pryvit, kohana Poltavshchyno,
Uklin tobi, matusenko moya!

Pryspiv:
Chai maljuyut maljuky kalyaky-malyaky,
Chtos u Kyyiv, htos u Lviv, my – u Kobelyaky!
Vidpochynemo na Vorskli, pyvo, ryba, raky,
Chtos na more, htos u hory, my – u Kobelyaky!
