Bodai sya kohut znudyv

Bodai sya kohut znudyv,
Shcho mene vranci zbudyv, –
Malaya nichka, mala,
Ya-m shche sya ne vyspala.

Kazala meni maty
Z hlopcyamy pohulyaty:
"Pohulyai sobi, donyu,
Ya z tobi ne boronyu".

A ya sobi hulyayu,
Yak rybka po Dunayu,
Ya, moloda, z hlopcyamy,
Yak rybka z okuncyamy.

Bodai sya kohut znudyv,
Shcho mene vranci zbudyv, –
Malaya nichka, mala,
Ya-m shche sya ne vyspala.
