Pidu ya do hayu, hayu zelenoho

Pidu ya do hayu, hayu zelenoho,
Nazbyrayu hmelju, hmelju chervonoho.

Natovchu ya hmelju, hmelju chervonoho,
Naproshu ya rodu, rodu slavnenkoho.

Po bahatu sestru treba koni slaty,
A po bidnu sestru ta i perekazaty.

Ta bahata sestra kohuta pryvezla,
A ta bidna sestra barana prynesla.

Bahatuyu sestru ta za stil sadzayut,
A tu bidnu sestru v porozi trymayut.

Bahataya sestra ta p’ye med-horilku,
A taya bidnenka stoyit pry odvirku.

– Oi ty, nasha sestro, ne zavad nikomu,
Hodui bidnyh ditok, yak pryidesh dodomu.

idu ya dorohoyu ta hirenko plachu,
Za tymy slozamy stezechky ne bachu.

idu ya stezechkoyu, ljudy mya pytayut:
– U sestry vesillya, shcho rano vertayesh?

Yak pryishla dodomu, shche i dity pytayut:
– Mamunyu ridnenka, shcho rano vertayesh?

– Dity, moyi dity, v mene nema rodu,
Oblyly mya slozy, ya pryishla dodomu.
