Tovche baba mak, mak

Lyrics

Tovche baba mak, mak,
Pud stupoyu dyak, dyak.
– Choho, dyache, plachesh?
– Machukha nabyla.
Vzyala kryshku khlyeba –
Myshka y ukhopyla.
– A de zh taya myshka?
– Pud kolodkoyu.
– A de zh ta kolodka?
– Chervy roztochyli.
– A de zh tyye chervy?
– Myshi* poklyuvali.
– A de zh tyye myshi*?
– Na lyes polyetali.
– A de zh tyye lyesy?
– Sokyrka zrubala.
– A de zh ta sokyrka?
– Y u more potala.
– A de zh teye more?
– Kvetochkamy zaroslo.
– A de zh tyye kvetochky?
– Panychye porvali.
– A de zh tyye panychi?
– Spekli babu na pechi.
Posidaly na pisochku,
Porizaly po kusochku,
Prosym: "Dayte nam!"
A my kazhem: "Malo nam!"
