Lyrics

Oy siv Khrystos vecheraty.
Shchedryy vechor, dobryy vechor,
Dobrym, dobrym lyudyam
Na ves' vech[or].

Pryyshla k n'omu Bozhaya Mati.
Shchedryy vechor, dobryy vechor,
Dobrym, dobrym lyudyam
Na ves' vech[or].

Poday, synku, rays'kyyi klyuchi.
Shchedryy vechor, dobryy vechor,
Dobrym, dobrym lyudyam
Na ves' vech[or].

Odymknuty ray i peklo.
Shchedryy vechor, dobryy vechor,
Dobrym, dobrym lyudyam
Na ves' vech[or].

Vypustyty pravedni dushi.
Shchedryy vechor, dobryy vechor,
Dobrym, dobrym lyudyam
Na ves' vech[or].

Odniyeyi ne vypuskaty.
Shchedryy vechor, dobryy vechor
Dobrym, dobrym lyudyam
Na ves' vech[or].

Vona nen'ku nalayala.
Shchedryy vechor, dobryy vechor,
Dobrym, dobrym lyudyam
Na ves' vech[or].

Ne layala, a podumala.
Shchedryy vechor, dobryy vechor,
Dobrym, dobrym lyudyam
Na zdorovʼ[ya].
