Koly ya buv malenkyi
I mav dvanaycyat' lit,
Zyttya bulo solodke,
Yak toy bdzolynyi mid,
Ya pas korovy v luzi,
Metelykiv lapav,
To bulo v moyi babci,
Dvanaycyat' lit ya mav.

Pryspiv:
Moya babcya
Zashyye my sorochku!
Moya babcya
Zvaryt meni obid!
Moya babcya,
Yak pysanka nivrochku!
Moya babcya
Odna na cilyi svit!

Skinchylosya dytynstvo,
Sluzyty chas nastav,
Sobi ya vzyav pistolyet,
Harmatu babci dav.
My rushyly do viys'ka
I marsha hraly nam,
Bez babci navit' v viys'ku
Ya rady sy ne dam.

Pryspiv

Moya babcya! Moya babcya!

Teper ya mayu zinku
I vos'mero ditok,
Zyttya moye solodke,
Yak z bochky ohirok.
Ya zhaduyu dytynstvo,
Dvanaycyat' lit ya mav,
Ya pas korovy v luzi,
Metelykiv lapav.
