Oy kalyno-malyno,
Ty, chervone derevce!
Chom do mene ne hovorysh
Ty z, miy mylenkyi, serce?
Tym do mene ne hovorysh,
Bo ty hinshuyu mayesh.
Kazut' meni dobri lyudy,
Shcho v neyi buvayesh.
– Oy ya v neyi ne buvayu,
Tilky dumka zanosyt'.
Oy koly b ty, serce, znala,
Yak choroshenko prosyt'.
Oy choch prosyt', choch ne prosyt',
To ne daysya prosyty.
Oy dumayesh, vrazyi synu,
Shcho yabluchka vkusyty.
Oy ty yabluchka vkusysh –
Yak hirke, to pokynesh,
Koho z lyubysh ta pokynesh,
To sam marne zahynesh.
Oy vyidu ya za vorota,
Ta nikoho ne bachu...
Proshu tebe, ne kpy z mene
Oy ty, durnyu-bahachu!
