Kolys' u dytynstvi
Na shlyachu v dibrovu,
Znayshla ya shchastya
Sriblyastu pidkovu.
A shche pam’yatayu,
Yakos' po vecheri
Prybyv tu pidkovu
Miy bat'ko na dveri.

Pryspiv:
I ty shukay –
Shchastya piznay!
Dolyu svoyu znaydy! (ves' kuplet – 2)

Teper, yak zbyrayus'
Kudys' u dorohu,
Torkayus' pidkovy
I molyusya Bohu.
Koly v ridnu chatu
Vertayusya znovu,
To zavzdy shukayu
Charivnu pidkovu.
