Yichav kozak na viynonku,
proshchav svoyu divchynonku:
"Proshchay, ridnenka, chornobryvenka,
ya ydu v chuzuyu storononku. (2)

Daymy, divchyno, chustynu,
moze, ya v poli zahynu.
Nakryyut' ochi temnoyi nochi,
lehshe v mohyli spochynu".

Dala divchyna chustynu,
kozak u boyu zahynuv.
Nakryly ochi temnoyi nochi,
lehshe v mohyli spochynuv.

A zliyi lyudy nasylu
vzyaly neshchasnu divchynu.
Tam sered polya hnet'sya topolya
ta y na kozac'ku mohylu.
