Des' davno, chy kolys',
Tak, yak povelos',
Boh na svit z’yavyvs'.

Usesvit zadyvyvs',
Tam, de miz zirok,
Boh na svit z’yavyvs'.

Plakaly vsi,
Bachysh, plakaly vsi
Kozen radiv,
Uves' lyud veselyvs',
Spivav i tancyuvav.

Sonce, sonce schodyt',
Bachysh, vsi yak dity,
Sluchay, vsim radity, zyty.

Des' davno, chy kolys',
Tak, yak povelos',
Boh na svit z’yavyvs'.
