Khodyla, brodyla v zelenim sadu,

A ya piydu v sad zelenyy, vmyyus', vmyyusya sl'ozam[y].

Poslyedniy nonyeshniy dyen'ochek hulyayu s vami ya druz'ya,

A zavtra rano, chut' svyetochek zaplachet vsya moya syemʼya.

Zaplachut brat'ya moi s'ostry, zaplachet mat', rodnoy otyets.

Yeshch'o zaplachet tot tovaryshch s kotorym chasto vypival.

Yeshch'o zaplachet dorohaya s kotoroy try huda hulyal.

Proshchaytye yolochki sos'onky, proshchayte vse moi druz'ya.

Proshchaytye dyevochki, devch'onki, proshchay, krasavitsa moya.

Viter z polya, khvylya z morya
