Oy u polyu kray dorohy
Stoyit' kamin marmorovyi,
A na tomu kamenovi
Stoyit' chlopec' chornobrovyi.

Oy stoyit' ze vin, stoyit'
Ta y dumonku hadaye.
Ulyubyvsya u divchynu,
Teper yiyi pokydaye.

Mezy tr'oma hironkamy
Ziyshov misyac' z zironkamy.
Chto nayvyshche pidlitaye?
Syvyi sokil z halonkamy.

Oy litaye sokolonko
Ta krylechkamy bludyt'.
Tyazko-vazko na serdenku,
Yak chto koho virno lyubyt'.

Sudy, boze, zenytysya
Ta choroshuyu vzyaty.
Choch chudoby ne dizdusya,
Z choroshoyu ozenyusya!

Oy shcho z meni po chudobi,
Shcho podvir’yachko zlyaze?
Nehidnaya nehidnycya
Molodomu svit zav’yaze.

Oy shcho z meni po chudobi,
Shcho podvir’yachkom hude?
Z nehidnoyu druzynoyu
Niyak vyity mezy lyudy.
