A shcho to bulo – a to bulo zyttya!
Vypalo z hnizda bez vorottya
Bez mamy i tata ptashenya,
I lyshe Boh ohoronya...

Pryspiv:
Sydiv, kuryv, i nichoho ne hovoryv,
Bo shcho skazaty – ne mav.
Use proishlo ta tyhenko sobi pishlo,
A yak povernuty – ne znav!

A shcho to bulo – a to bulo zyttya!
Bulo kohannya-zabuttya,
Vbylos u pir’ya ptashenya,
Ale otrymalas hernya!

Sydiv nabundyuchenyi pinhvin –
Tyazkuyu dumu kuryv vin...
