Chuky-chuky

Yak ty, chorte lysyi, nadoyiv! – nache nemovlya, tebe kolyshu.
Popopyv moyeyi krovi, podoyiv!.. Ya v cvitu, a ty na ladan dyshesh.
Kolo mene hlopciv, yak royiv, vylosya, krutylosya bahato,
A mene yakyis lyhyi pidbyv za staroho vyity, durnuvatu.

Pryspiv:
Hop, chuky-chuky, hei!.. Tilky tohne solovei –
Kynu k chortu rohachi, – lezy, didu, na pechi!
A ya brava molodycya, meni vdoma ne sydytsya:
Ty do ranku budesh spaty, a ya pidu tancyuvaty.
Hop, chuky– chuky-chuky! – vizmu parubka pid ruky.
Chuky-chuky-chuky, hei! – hai spivaye solovei.

Kazut ljudy: hore – ne bida: did hoch i v litah, ale z bahatyi.
Ye u noho v kopanci voda, mlyn, stavok ta shche i pid cynkom hata.
Pravda, vze zamulyvs toi stavok, zaby kvakchut v nashomu boloti.
Nyni did – zasushenyi penok, ya shche – molodycya uv ohoti.

Pryspiv:
Ya brovoyu shche yak povedu – did lyshe kahykaye iz pichky.
Ya – yak povnyi misyac na vydu: i statura, i makoviyi shchichky.
Sestronky! Meni vze vse odno – pered vamy ne vtayu nichoho:
Krashche ustupyty u bahno, niz pophatys zamiz za staroho.
