Cherez richenku, cherez boloto
Poday ruchenku, moye zoloto
Poday ruchenku, poday druhuyu
Poday lychenko, nay pociluyu

Oy ty, divchyno, ochyma bludysh,
Sama ne znayesh koho ty lyubysh.
Oy znayu-znayu koho kochayu,
Tilky ne znayu z kym zyty mayu

Lyubyla-m chlopcya, a chlopec' mene,
Choroshyi chlopec' chodyv do mene.
Chodyv do mene dva i pivroku,
Poky ne vznaly vorohy z boku

A yak uznaly, rozshchebetaly,
Boday u Boha shchastya ne maly
U Boha shchastya, zyttya do roku,
Za nashu lyubov tverdu-zolotu
