Oi zasvity, maty, svichku,
Oi postav na stoli,
Nekhai liudy ta y podyvliatsia,
Chy para y meni.
Ta y zasvityla maty svichku,
Oi ne yasno horyt.
Z kym liubylas ta y rozluchylas –
Serdenko y bolyt.
Ta y z kym liubylas – rozluchylas,
Oi serdenko bolyt,
Z kym ne znalasia – ta y povinchalas,
Treba v sviti zhyt.
