Oi ty, zozulko

Oi ty, zozulko ryabenkaya,
Choho ty taka malenkaya?

Oi, umer batko, vmerla maty,
Ne bulo komu hoduvaty.

Mene ptashechky hoduvaly,
Meni yistonky ne davaly.

Davaly yisty potroshechku,
Vyhoduvaly, yak ptashechku.

A sami yily, shche i velysya,
Bodai vony podavylysya.

Oi ty, zozulko ryabenkaya,
Choho ty taka malenkaya? (ves kuplet – 3)
