Shumily lisy i dibrovy,
Shumiv hustyi zelenyi hay,
Na hrud' moyu sloza skotylas',
Ostanniy raz skazav: "Proshchay".

"Proshchayte, lisy i dibrovy,
Proshchay, huculs'ka storona,
Proshchay, starenka ridna nenko,
Proshchay, divchynonko moya".

Buvalo, z vechora do rannya
Trymav divcha ya na rukach.
Teper iz vechora do rannya
Trymayu krisa na plechach.
