Chy ye v sviti molodycya,
Yak ta Handzya bilolycya?
Oy skazit', shanovni lyudy,
Shcho zi mnoyu teper bude?

Pryspiv:
Handzya – dushka, Handzya – lyubka,
Handzya myla, yak holubka,
Handzya – rybka, Handzya – kycya,
Handzya – cyacya-molodycya!

Yak na mene shchyro hlyane,
Serce moye, tycho v’yane,
A yak stane shchebetaty,
Sam ne znayu, shcho y kazaty!

Pryspiv

Handzyu moya, Handzyu myla,
Chym ty mene napoyila?
Chy travoyu, chy charamy,
Chy solodkymy slovamy?
