Vylitalo oi halenia,
Z-pid tsiloho kamenia.
Pytalosia oi halenia,
Siroho y seleznia:
– Skazhy, skazhy, oi selezniu,
Chy liuta y zyma?
– Oi khoch liuta, oi ne liuta,
Ta y ne taka, yak lito.
Pytalasia oi Halyna,
Molodoho Ivanka.
– Skazhy, skazhy, oi Ivanku,
Chy svekrukha hrizna?
– Oi khoch hrizna, oi ne hrizna,
Ta y ne taka, yak ridna.
Oi ne bude oi puskaty,
Na yulytsiu y huliaty.
A ya v nenky oi huliala,
Nenka y ne spyniala.
A teper zhe oi spynyla
Chuzhaia rodyna.
