Nese Halya vodu,
Koromyslo hnet'sya,
Za neyu Ivanko,
Yak barvinok, v’yet'sya.

– Halyu, z moya Halyu,
Day vody napyt'sya,
Ty taka chorosha –
Day choch podyvyt'sya.

– Voda u stavochku,
Toy pidy napyisya,
Ya budu v sadochku –
Pryidy podyvysya.*

– Pryishov u sadochok,
Zozulya kuvala,
A ty z mene, Halyu,
Ta y ne shanuvala.

– Stelysya, barvinku, –
Budu polyvaty,
Vernysya, Ivanku, –
Budu shanuvaty.

– Skilky ne stelyvsya,
Ty ne polyvala,
Skilky ne vertavsya,
Ty ne shanuvala.

Nese Halya vodu,
Koromyslo hnet'sya,
Za neyu Ivanko,
Yak barvinok, v’yet'sya.
