Porad' meni, tovaryshu, shcho mayu robyty,
Chy divchynu pokydaty, chy yi shche lyubyty?
Oy ne lyuby, tovaryshu, ta y ne zabuvay sya,
Bo linyva do roboty, chot' lyudey spytay sya!
Bo linyva do roboty, ne choche robyty,
Plete vinky shcho subitky, shchoby yi lyubyty.
Oy nay by to shcho suboty, a to shcho nedili,
Shchoby yiyi zavydily chlopci molodiyi.
Oy nay by to shcho nedili, to shcho ponedilka,
Shchoby yiyi zavydily, shcho chorosha divka.
