Narodyla mat'-pryroda
na pochatku bereznya
Oberih domivky-chaty
Chy yakohos' telepnya

Vin stvoryv vlasnyi svit
I sebe postavyv bohom
Bereze svyatyi porih
I pyshayet'sya porohom

Povazayut' chakluna
Z rozuminnyam stavlyat'sya
I za ce nash domovyk
Shchyro posmichayet'sya

A na tretiy den vesny
Vin staru skydaye shkiru
I staye domovychok
Zlym, strashnishym toho zvira
