Misyac' na nebi, zironky syayut',
Tycho po moryu choven plyve.
V chovni divchyna pisnyu spivaye,
A kozak chuye – serdenko mre.

Pisnya ta myla, pisnya ta lyuba,
Vse pro kochannya, vse pro lyubov.
Yak my lyubylys' ta y roziyshlysya,
Teper naviky ziyshlysya znov.

Oy ochi, ochi, ochi divochi,
Temni, yak nichka, yasni, yak den!
Vy z meni, ochi, vik vkorotyly,
De z vy navchylys' zvodyt' lyudey?
