Ya bachyv, yak tremtiv osinniy lyst,
Lyshyvsya shche na ridnim kleni,
Yak tviy ostanniy lyst do mene
Cholodnyi, nache pislya zlyv,
U vsich hrichach mene zvynyv.

Pryspiv:
U doloni osinniy lyst,
V doloni tviy ostanniy lyst.
Nevze kochannya zar-cvit ziv’yav?
A ya ne viryu, ne viryu ya. (ves' kuplet – 2)

Mov cey klenovyi odynokyi lyst,
Ostanniy tviy pozovkne zhodom.
Kolys' bula miz namy zhoda,
Yakyi ze viter ostudyv te serce,
Shcho zavzdy lyubyv?

Pryspiv

Pid vitrom lyst trymavsya i upav,
Na mokryi shlyach prypav u vtomi.
A tviy palav ishche v doloni,
Ostanniy lyst pysala ty,
Ta v serci pershi ti lysty.
