Kozak od’yizdzaye,
Divchynonka plache:
– Kudy yidesh, kozache?

Kozache-sobolyu,
Voz'my z mene z soboyu
Na Vkrayinu daleko.

– Shcho z budesh robyla,
Divchynonko myla,
Na Vkrayini daleko?

– Budu chusta praty,
Sriblom-zlotom vyshyvaty,
Kozachenku-serdenko!

– De z ty budesh prala,
Divchyno kochana,
Na Vkrayini daleko?

– Na krutiy hori
Ta na synomu mori,
Kozachenku-serdenko!

– De z budesh sushyla,
Divchynonko myla,
Na Vkrayini daleko?

– Na buynim vitrochku,
Na shovkovim shnurochku
Kozachenku-serdenko!

– Shcho z ty budesh yila,
Divchynonko myla,
Na Vkrayini daleko?

– Suchari z vodoyu,
Aby mylyi z toboyu
Na Vkrayini daleko.
