Babusyu, ridnenka,
Ty vse dobre znayesh:
Yake v mene hore,
Ty, pevno, vhadayesh? (ost 2 ryadky – 2)

Lysh ochi zaplyushchu,
Och, nene, z ty nene,
Des' zrazu viz'met'sya
Kozak bilya mene. (ost 2 ryadky – 2)

Day zillya, babusyu,
Ta shche y opivnochi,
To moze kozak toy
Ne liztyme v ochi.

– Ni, serdenko donyu,
C'oho ne zlichyty,
Taka tvoya dolya –
Nastav chas lyubyty. (ost 2 ryadky – 2)
