Chaika

Oi hore tii chaici, chayechci nebozi,
Shcho vyvela chayenyatok pry bytii dorozi.

Oi ishly chumachenky, veselo spivaly,
Vony chaiku izihnaly, chayenyat zabraly.

A chayechka v’yetsya, krai dorohy b’yetsya,
Na kolincya prypadaye, chumakiv blahaye.

Oi vy chumachenky, vy dobriyi ljude,
Viddaite mni moyih ditok, bo lyho vam bude.

Oi ty chaiko, chaiko, chayechko ty nasha,
Shcho iz tvoyih malyh ditok bula dobra kasha.

A bodai vy, chumachenky, u Krym ne zhodyly,
Shcho vy moyih chayenyatok v kashi povaryly.

A bodai vy, chumachenky, shchastya ne dizdaly,
Shcho vy moyih chayenyatok v kashu povkydaly!
