Holub vidlitaye

Holub vidlitaye, a holubka hude:
"Kudy yidesh, vid’yizdzayesh?
Yak divchyna bude?"

"A ya vid’yizdzayu na bystriyi vody,
A tepera, divchynonko, nam ljubytys hodi.

A ya vid’yizdzayu na bystriyi riky,
A tepera, divchynonko, rozluka naviky..."

"Yak ty vid’yizdzayesh, nu toi Boh z toboyu!
Ye u mene dvi ptashechky –
Rozdilyt z toboyu.

Tobi – zozulenka
Meni – soloveiko.
Oi, shchob tobi dobre bulo,
Meni – veselenko.

Tobi zozulenka,
Shchob rano kuvala,
Oi, a meni soloveiko,
Shchob ya ne skuchala..."
