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

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

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

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