Zakuvala zazulenka, uchynyla: kuku!
Poday, poday, serce moye, na konyka ruku!
Rada by ya, miy mylenkyi, rada vbi podaty,
Ne kazala, ne velila moya stara maty!
Na shcho moyu ruku prosysh, kol sya viddalyayesh?
Bud' schyslyva tva dorizka, kudy pohadayesh!
Na shcho y ty my ruchku dayesh, uze ne vernesh sya,
Schaslyvaya dorizechka, kudy povernesh sya!
