Letila zozulya z hory ta v dolynu,
/ Z hory ta v dolynu, sila na kalynu. / 2
Sila na kalynu ta y stala kuvaty,
/ Vyyshla divka z khaty ta y stala pytaty: / 2
– Zozule, zozule, oy choho zh ty kuyesh,
/ Nevzhe zh ty, zozule, moye hore chuyesh? / 2
– Yakby ne chuvala, to b ya ne kuvala,
/ Tvoya maty vmerla, ty dosi ne znala. /2
Prykhozhu do khaty, teslyaryky struzhat',
/ Naymenshaya sestra po matintsi tuzhyt'. / 2
Mamo zh, moya mamo, de zh tebe uzyaty,
/ Chy z vosku zlipyty, chy namalyuvaty? / 2
Z vosku ne zliplyu ya, zmalyuvat' – zmalyuyu,
/ Zmalyuyu ya lychko, shche y chorniyi brovy. / 2
Zmalyuyu ya lychko, shche y chorniyi brovy,
/ Til'ky ne zmalyuyu shchyroyi rozmovy. / 2
