Zazurylasya y zatuzylasya
Ta bidnenkaya vdova,
Shcho ne skoshena y ne zhromadzena
Zelenenka dibrova.

Ta naymit' sobi simsot molodciv,
Sim sotok i chotyry,
Shchob skosyly ta zhromadyly
Vsi hory ta dolyny.

Kosari kosyat', kosari kosyat',
A buynyi povivaye.
Shovkova trava, chom zelenaya,
Na kosu nalyahaye.

Shovkova trava, chom zelenaya,
Na kosu nalyahaye.
A bidna vdova, a bidna vdova
Do korchmy pospishaye.

Kosari kosyat', kosari kosyat',
A sonce na obriy kuye.
Bizyt' udova, bizyt' udova,
Nese chlib ta horilku.

– Ne hnivaytesya, lyubi kosari,
Sho ya sya prypiznyla.
Oy hlota bula ta kolo sklepu,
Ledve sya doprosyla.
