Zazurylasya, zasmutylasya
Moloda udivonka,
Shcho ne skoshena, ne zhromadzena
Zelena dibrivonka.

Naymyla vona, naymyla vona
Kosariv sorok chotyry,
Shchoby skosyly ta y zhromadyly
Vsi hory ta y dolyny.

Kosari kosyat', kosari kosyat',
A viter povivaye.
Bidnenka vdova, molodenkaya
Serdenko uvivaye.

Bidnenka vdova, molodenkaya
Serdenko uvivaye.
Zovnyar molodyi, zovnyar molodyi
Na voron konyu hraye.

Rozkazy meni, serdenko,
Chom tremtysh, pobyvayeshsya?
Yaku v piznyu hodynu
Dumku potay hadayesh?

Chy to u poli palaye
Yahid plomin kalyna,
Chy urazyt', osyaye

Cvit vusta manyt' paporot'.
Sam na sam pomandruyemo,
Zakruzlyayemo v temryavi.

M’yatnym shepotom vrazenyi,
M’yakym veresom zbudzenyi,
Stane rano, dohlyane
Legin tuyu kalynonku.

V yasni zori rushaly my,
V chystych rosach kupalysya,
Lehkym podychom, pir’yachkom
Do nebes pidiymalysya.

V nebi chodyachy, bavlyuchys',
Polovyv Misyac' zironku.
Neuhavnyi rozbiynyku,
Shcho z ty robysh, bezzalisnyi.

Ya barvinkom oplutayu,
Ty verboyu rozkyneshsya.
Zacharuyesh, poraduyesh,
Polikuyesh vid sumnivu.

Yak hoduye holubonka
Ptashenyat svoyich berezno
