Tam, de Yatran kruto v’yet'sya,
Z-pid kamenya b’ye voda,
Tam divchyna vodu brala,
Chornobryva, moloda.

Ty, divchyno, ty shchaslyva:
V tebe bat'ko, maty ye,
Rid velykyi, chata bila,
Vse, shcho v chati, to tvoye.

A ya bidnyi, beztalannyi;
Step shyrokyi – to z miy svat,
Shablya, lyulka – vsya rodyna,
Syvyi konyk – to z miy brat.

Oy yak tyazko zyty stalo,
Bo ti proklyati pany
Iz nas shkuru pozdyraly
Ta poshyly zupany.
