Oy ne cvity buynym cvitom,
Zelenyi katrane,*
Tyazko-vazko na serdenku,
Yak vechir nastane.

Stupay, konyu, stupay, konyu,
Z hory kam’yanoyi
Do tiyeyi divchynonky,
Shcho chorniyi brovy.

"Yak ne chochesh, divchynonko,
Druzynoyu buty,
To day meni take zillya,
Shchob tebe zabuty".

"Yest' u mene take zillya,
Roste bilya toku;
Yak dam tobi napytysya,–
Zabudesh do roku.

Yest' u mene take zillya
Bilya perelazu;
Yak dam tobi napytysya,–
Zabudesh odrazu.

Yest' u mene take zillya,
Roste bilya chaty;
Yak dam tobi napytysya,–
Y zabudesh, yak zvaty".

"Budu pyty, budu pyty,
I krapli ne vpushchu;
Chiba todi ya zabudu,
Yak ochi zaplyushchu".
