Syra bereza v pechi ne bula

Lyrics

Syra bereza v pechi ne bula,
V pechi ne bula, yarko palala.

V pechi ne bula, yarko palala,
Lykha svekrukha ohon' zalyla.

Lykha svekrukha ohon' zalyla,
Shchob ya y, moloda, ne vyechyeryala.

Shchob ya y, moloda, ne vyechyeryala,
Byez vyecheron'ky spaton'ky lyahla.

Zasnula ya, son, yak myesyats, zyyshov,
Zasnula druhiy, yak milyy pryyshov.

– Chi ty, mila, spish, chi ty tak lezhysh,
Pro svoye zhyttya dumku dumayesh?

– Ya, milyy, ne splyu, til'ky tak lezhu,
Pro svoye zhyttya dumku dumayu.

Pro svoye zhyttya dumku dumayu,
Yak ya y, moloda, viku dozhyvu.

– Dozhyvay, mila, viku ty odna,
Bo v mene, mila, ye uzhe druha.
