Shcho z ty, myla, ne stayesh, chom chovayesh ochi,
Chy mene na vpiznayesh, chy vpiznat' ne chochesh?
Chy bez tebe za sim lit shchos' mene zminylo,
Chy zabula, yak kolys' ty mene lyubyla.

Pryspiv:
Vydno, dolya vze taka, dovela do krayu,
Ta chomus' u kozaka inshoyi nemaye.
Hoy-ya, moya myla, inshoyi nemaye.
Hoy-ya, moya myla, inshoyi nemaye.

Ne strashni dlya kozaka ni hroza ni zlyva,
A strashna lyubov taka, yak i ty, zradlyva.
Vze nema choho hubyt', vze nema shcho krasty.
Vze nema koho lyubyt', vze ne bude shchastya.
