Zelena dibrovo, skazy meni slovo

– Zelena dibrovo, skazy meni slovo,
Perenochui mene molodoho!
– Ne perenochuyu, zapasu ne mayu,
Bo ya z tebe, kozache, ne znayu.

– Zelena dibrovo, skazy meni slovo,
Oi shcho v sviti nailuchche hulyaye?
– Oi tiyi bohachi, shcho p’yut da hulyayut.
Bidni vdovy slozy prolyvayut.

– Zelena dibrovo, skazy meni slovo,
Oi shcho v sviti try zapahy maye?
– Oi da pershyi zapah – zelena m’yatochka,
Druhyi zapah – zelen barvinochok,
Oi da druhyi zapah – zelen barvinochok,
Tretii zapah – krasnyi vasylochok.

Oi da barvinochok sadochok vstelyaye,
A m’yatochka krasno procvitaye,
Zelena m’yatochka krasno procvitaye,
A vasylochok try zapahy maye.
