A u poli richka,
Cherez richku kladka.
Ne pokyn ze, miy mylenkyi,
Nevelila matka.

Yak ze ty pokynesh,
Pershyi sam zahynesh,
Bystrenkoyu richechkoyu
Za Dunay zaplynesh.

Budesh utopaty,
Ruchenku davaty,
Ya moloda, yak yahoda,
Budu ryatuvaty.

Boday taya richka
Travoyu zarosla,
A shcho z moho mylenkoho
Za Dunay zanesla.

Oy, hayu, z miy hayu,
Zelenyi miy rayu,
Lyubyvshysya, kochavshysya
Rostatysya mayu.
