Oy hore tiy chayci,
chayenci-nebozi,
shcho vyvela chayenyatok
pry bytiy dorozi.

A ishly chumaky,
veselo spivaly,
ta chayechku izihnaly,
chayenyat zabraly.

A chayechka v’yet'sya,
ob dorohu b’yet'sya,
k syriy zemli prypadaye,
chumakiv blahaye:

"Oy vy, chumachenky,
vy dobriyi lyudy,
vernit' moyich chayenyatok –
vony shche malenki!"

"Oy chayechko nasha,
ta y pravdonka vasha:
povaryly chayenyatok –
dobra bula kasha!"
