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

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

– Zelena dibrovo, skazy meni slovo,
Oy shcho v sviti try zapachy maye?
– Oy da pershyi zapach – zelena m’yatochka,
Druhyi zapach – zelen barvinochok,
Oy da druhyi zapach – zelen barvinochok,
Tretiy zapach – krasnyi vasylochok.

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