Kucheryavyi Vasyl na kapustu orav,
Chornyavuyu divchynonku pohanyaty naynyav.
Oy, divchyno moya, pohanyay my konya,
Bude nasha kapustonka holovataya.

Oy, kapustonka moya, i rozsada moya,
Chornyavaya divchynonka, to rozrada moya.
I kapusta moya, i kachannya moye,
Chornyavaya divchynonka, to kochannya moye.

A Vasyl na toku, a ya chlib mishu.
Sydyt' Vasyl na porozi, Vasylem sya tishu.
A Vasyl na toku, a ya chatu metu.
U Vasylya chorni brovy, za Vasylya pidu.
