Oy son, maty, oy son, maty,
Son holovonku klonyt'.

Za kozakom divchynonka
Bili ruchky lomyt'.

Zhotuvala divchynonka
Dvi vecheronky ruznych.

Oy pershaya vecheronka
Ta shalviya ta ruta,

A druhaya vecheronka
Ta trutyznonka lyuta.

Sydyt' kozak kinec' stola
Yoho serdenko b’yet'sya,

A divchyna kray poroha
Iz kozaka smiyet'sya:

– Tohdi z tobi, kozachenku,
Sya vechera mynet'sya,

Yak u polyu kray dorohy
Suchyi dub roziv’yet'sya.

A vze z toho suchoho duba
Ta y uze y porubaly,

A vze z toho kozachenka
Na mohyli pochovaly.
