Oi, mii dube, zelenenkyi

Oi, mii dube, zelenenkyi,
Choho z ty sya hylyayesh?
Ty, mii mylyi, chornobryvyi,
A de z ty sya zbyrayesh?

– Zbyrayusya, moya myla,
Z toboyu sya proshchayu.
– Nochui, nochui, mii mylenkyi,
Shche hoch nichku zo mnoyu.

– Oi ne budu, moya myla,
Z tobov nichku nochuvat,
Bo boyusya, moya myla,
Shchob z toboyu ne prospat.

– Oi ne biisya, mii mylenkyi,
Ne prospysh ty zo mnoyu.
Yak zapiyut pershi pivni –
Ya moloda pochuyu.

Diyut pershi, piyut druhi,
Shche zapiyav tretii,
Vstavai, mylyi-chornobryvyi,
Bo na dvori bilyi den.

Oi vstav mylyi-chornobryvyi,
Kucheryky rozchesav,
Vzyav mylenku za ruchenku,
Siv na konya, poyihav.

Oi poyihav mii mylenkyi,
Zakrylysya vorota.
A teper ya bidna plachu,
A teper ya syrota.
