Yichav kozak na viynonku,
Skazav: "Proshchay, divchynonko,
Proshchay, divchyno, chornobryvaya,
Yidu v chuzuyu storononku.

Day ze, divchyno, chustynu,
Moze, ya v boyu zahynu,
Temnoyi nochi nakryyut' ochi, –
Lehshe v mohyli spochynu".

Dala divchyna chustynu,
Kozak u boyu zahynuv,
Temnoyi nochi nakryly ochi, –
Vze vin v mohyli spochynuv.

Dobriyi lyudy nasylu
Vzyaly choroshu divchynu.
Hen sered polya hnet'sya topolya
Ta y na kozac'ku mohylu.
