Zaba

Kolya kotykiv ljubyt z kolysky,
Ivan sobaci hilky kydaye,
Hryc holovu vphav do klitky –
Matyukam papuhu navchaye.

Cherepaha bizyt do Staha,
Kanareika Romi spivaye,
A u Vovy pid maikoyu zaba,
Shcho pohanyi harakter maye.

(Yak v koho) harna divchyna,
(Yak v koho) bystra mashyna,
(Yak v koho) bila hatyna,
(To dlya neyi) yak rohatyna.

Pryspiv:
Ene-bene-raba,
Dusyt Vovu zaba,
Dusyt zaba, dusyt,
Niyak ne popustyt.

Rve Choma hom’yakam hazety,
Rozmovlyaye som z Opanasom,
Misha mysham rozdav grin-karty –
Podilyvsya ostannim matrasom,

Holub Hoshi namityv hroshi,
Yuru chornyi kit obmynaye,
A u Vovy carska osoba,
Yaku pid maikoyu shlyak traflyaye.

(Yak v koho) harna divchyna,
(Yak v koho) bystra mashyna,
(Yak v koho) bila hatyna,
(To dlya neyi) yak rohatyna.

Het, het, het!
Ochi zavydyushchi.
Het, het, het!
Ruky zahrebushchi.
Dai kopnyaka zabi,
Yak mnichu na rehbi. (2)
