U strachu ochi velyki,
A nis shche bilshyi!

Hen, v kutku shchos' merechtyt'...
Shchos' strashne ta chorne stoyit'!
Vono maye chotyry dovhiyi lapy...
To z klyatyi stilec' u kutku chaty!

O, koshmarnaya nich, lize shchos' do tebe volochate!
O, koshmarnaya nich, pazuramy cokaye po chati!

Hen, z vikna tin merechtyt'...
Shchos' strashne ta bile letyt'!
Vono maye shyroki, dovhiyi kryla...
To klyata port'yera tebe zbudyla!

Chorna nich po chati – hey-hey!
