Shcho ty, synu, kaze, robysh, shcho po nochech chodysh?
Skarzyet my si molodyci, shcho yim shkodu robysh.
Budu ya ta chodyty, ta shkodu robyty,
Bulo mene, moya maty, v sim lit ozenyty.
Chy ya tobi, miy synochku, toho boronyla,
Bulo ty si ozenyty, lyshe-m ti povyla.
A yak meni, moya maty, doma nochuvaty,
Pryide nichka temnenkaya, ni z kym rozmovlyaty.
A yak by ya, mamuncunyu, ta y doma nochuvav,
Oy to by ya v Zalishchykach cherevychky vzuvav.
