Horivka mni zapalyla, a pyva my dayte,
Yak mni pyvo ne pomoze, po lyubku machayte.
Horivka mni zapalyla, oy pyva my, pyva,
Yak mni pyvo ne pomoze – lyubka chornobryva.
Kazut lyudy, shcho ya piyak, chiba kozuch skynu,
Kazut lyudy, nay tak bude, shcho lyubyu divchynu.
A ya lyubyu, a ya lyubyu, takoy si ne tayu,
Shcho ya sobi sered sela divchynu kochayu.
