A na nashiy vulyci zacvily kashtany,
My davno chekaly yich – os' vony nad namy.
Viter nizno hladyt' yich holivky bili,
Vechir tycho hasyt' yichni ochi myli.

Pryspiv:
Davay, druze, pidemo u nichnu hodynu
I svichky zapalymo – chay horyat' do dnyny.
Tam orhany nochi vze spivat' pochaly,
Tam dzvenyat' nad namy zoryani choraly.

Viter v hustych vitach vze znayshov sviy spokiy.
Vin svichky chytaye na kroni vysokiy,
Yim rozpovidaye pro krayi daleki,
Zvidky prylitayut' sribniyi leleky.
