Ty, rozlyubyla mene, myla...
Naviky ya tebe lyublyu.
Yak nam pryishla pora proshchatys',
Pidu na richku – i vtoplyus'.

Skinchylos' kochannya, skinchylosya vse,
Zahlyadaye sonce u vikna osel.
Tam lyudy shchaslyvi ta sumno meni,
Mabut' utoplyusya, spochynu na dni.

Pryspiv:
Pidu vtoplyusya u richci hlybokiy,
Shukaty stanut' – ne skoro znaydut'.
Ty budesh plakat' – splyvatymut' roky,
Mene do smerti ne zmozesh zabut'. (ves' kuplet – 2)

Zyttya, yak toy kamin, na hrudy lyahlo.
Zroblyu, shcho nadumav Marichci na zlo.
Proshchay, mamo lyuba, i tato, proshchay,
Uchytelka, druzi, proshchay, mylyi kray!

Pryspiv

A richka strashnoyu, mov vid'ma, bula.
Vidchody zavodu u more nesla.
Ya richku shukaty chystenku pidu –
Shukatymu doty, poky ne znaydu.
