Chomu, konyu, vody ne pyesh, chom na vodu duyesh [1]

Chomu, konyu, vody ne pyesh, chom na vodu duyesh?
Chom ty synu, Vasylenku, v doma ne nochuyesh?
A yak meni, stara maty, v doma nochuvaty,
Yaka nichka nevydnenka, ni z kym rozmovlyaty.
Oi vozmy sy, mii synonku, konya voronoho,
Zavedy sy do stayenky, hovory do noho.
Bodai tobi, moya maty, tak lehko konaty,
Yak ye lehko, meni maty, z konem rozmavlyaty.
