Oy ya svoho cholovika v dorohu poslala,
A od shynku ta do shynku dorohu toptala.
Sama pishla do dyaka – dobuvaty p’yataka,
I zanochuvala... i zanochuvala...

A iz Krymu cholovik ledve nohy dovolik,
Uviyshov u chatu, uviyshov u chatu,
Yak udaryvsya ob poly, yak udaryvsya ob poly:
Lazyat' dity u zapichku holodni i holi!

A de vasha, dity, maty, – serdeshnyi pytaye.
Tatu, tatu, nasha maty u shynochku hulyaye!
U shynochku hulyaye, u shynochku hulyaye,
Tatu, tatu, nasha maty u shynochku hulyaye!
