Poviyav viter stepovyi,
Trava sya pochylyla.
Vpav v boyu molodyi strilec',
Divchyna zazurylas'.

A vin buv chlopec' molodyi,
Yoho lyshen kochaty.
Vin vpav, yak toy suchyi lystok,
Povik bude lezaty.

Zaplache maty ne odna,
Zaplache chornobryva.
Shcho ne odnoho kozaka,
Syra zemlya nakryla.

Poviyav viter stepovyi,
Trava sya pochylyla.
Vpav v boyu molodyi strilec',
Divchyna zazurylas'.
