Oy hore tiy chayci, chayechci nebozi,
Shcho vyvela chayenyatok pry bytiy dorozi.

Oy yshly chumachenky, veselo spivaly,
Vony chayku izihnaly, chayenyat zabraly.

A chayechka v’yet'sya, kray dorohy b’yet'sya,
Na kolincya prypadaye, chumakiv blahaye.

Oy vy chumachenky, vy dobriyi lyude,
Viddayte mni moyich ditok, bo lycho vam bude.

Oy ty chayko, chayko, chayechko ty nasha,
Shcho iz tvoyich malych ditok bula dobra kasha.

A boday vy, chumachenky, u Krym ne zchodyly,
Shcho vy moyich chayenyatok v kashi povaryly.

A boday vy, chumachenky, shchastya ne dizdaly,
Shcho vy moyich chayenyatok v kashu povkydaly!
