Letyely husi, syery ta b`yely,
V chystomu poli hrechku poyily.

V chystomu poli hrechku poyily,
Na bistru rechku pyt' poletyely.

– Idy, Marusya, pozaymay husi,
Potsoluy parubka v chornyye vusy.

– Khoch potsyeluyu, shcho vam do toho,
Khoch potsiluyu, to y ne chuzhoho.

Khoch potsiluyu, vin meni mylyy,
Ya v yoho sadu sadyla slyvy.

Sadyla slyvy, shche y polyvala,
Koho lyubila – prycharuvala.

Lyuli-lyuli vam, lyuli,
Usim dyetkam duli.
A khlopchykam kalachi,
Shob stav i vden', i vnochi.
A-a, a-a, a.

Oy lyuli-lyuli, poshly dyetky huli,
A Larysku zabuly.
Oy vernitsa, ditochky, zaberit' Larysochku,
Bo vona plache, spatochky ne khoche.
A-a, a.

Khodyt' son bilya vikon,
A drimota – kolo plota,
Ne budy moyikh ditochok,
A-a, a.

Lyuli-lyuli, spy, sestrichka,
Ya sama shche y nevelychka,
Utomilas kolykhaty,
Tobi pisenku spivaty,

Zadrimala navet' kitsya,
A tobe zh ishche ne spit'sya,
U mene shche zh ye robota,
Treba hlechik znat' iz plota,
I kachatam dat' vodychki,
Lyuli-lyuli, spy, sestrichka,
A-a, a, spi.

Oy do boru stezhechka, do boru,
Tam buduye parubok komoru.

Buduy, buduy, parubche, visoko,
Proryzh, proryzh okentse shiroko.

Shchob do mene solovey prylitav,
Da shchob meni ranen'ko shchebetav.

Shchob do mene zozulya litala,
Da shchob meni ranen'ko kuvala.

Nashcho zh meni solovey syven'kiy,
Ye u mene svekorko staren'kiy.

Nashcho zh meni zozulya raben'ka,
Ye u mene svekrukha staren'ka.

Vona zh mene ranen'ko ne budyt',
Vyyde na ulytsyu – ta y obsudyt'.

Oy na poli, na shyrokomu, chervona,
Chevona yablon' chervonykh yabluk zrodyla.

Za neyu yshov krasnyy panychyk, chervona,
Chervona yablon' chervonykh yabluk zrodyla.

Chervona yablon' chervonykh yabluk zrodyla.

Yak odhadayesh, to moya budesh, chervona,
Chervona yablon' chervonykh yabluk zrodyla.

Chervona yablon' chervonykh yabluk zrodyla.

Chervona yablon' chervonykh yabluk zrodyla.

Na voronom konyku – oto zh moy.

Oy tam, na Ordani, tykha voda stoyala,
Tam Prechystaya svoho Syna skupala.

A iskupavshy, v shovkovynu spovyla.

A ispovyvshy, v yaselechka vlozhyla,
A ispovyvshy, v yaselechka vlozhyla,
A ulozhyvshy, ta y na dunay pustyla.

Do skhoda sontsya azh try tsari z`yikhalo.

Odyn zhe tsar Bozhym mirom miruvav,
A druhiy tsar Susom Khrystom nazyvav.

A druhiy tsar Susom Khrystom nazyvav,
A tretiy tsar kvitochkoyu daruvav.

To zh ne ye kvitka, to Svyatoye Rozhestvo,
Po vs'omu svitu, vs'omu myru radosno.

Oy u poli krynychen'ka murom murovana.
Kazhut' lyudy, divka harna, nache mal'ovana.

– Mal'ovana, rysovana – til'ky ne dlya tebe,
Yaki buly harni nochi – ty ne buv u mene.

– Ne raz buv u tebe, hovoryv z toboyu,
A ty zh meni vidkazala, zhalkuyesh za mnoyu.

– Ne ya zh tebe vidkazala i ne moya maty,
Vidkazala susidochka z chetvertoyi khaty.

– Ne dumay, ty, divchynon'ko, shcho ya odnu mayu,
A ya zh tebe, divchynon'ko, desyatu kokhayu.

Odna topyt', druha varyt', tretya vodu nosyt',
A chetverta ruchky lomyt', a p`yata holosyt'.

A shostaya i s'omaya mene dozhydaye,
A vos'maya postil' stelyt', dev`yata lyahaye.

A ya zh tuyu, dev`yatuyu, na posteli kynu,
A do tebe, desyatoyi, krylechkamy lynu.

Zav`yazala meni ruchky malaya dytyna.

Sl: Day, Bozhe, tsiye svyatka provesty, da y za hod dozhdaty!

Poydem, poydem, kozachen'ku, v vyshnevyy sad hulyat',
/ Ta y budemo, kozachen'ku, vsyu nochku rozmovlyat'. / 2

Minaye chas pervesen'kyy, nachav uzhe vtoroy,
/ Vedy, vedy, kozachen'ku, vedy mene domoy. / 2

Prikhozhu ya v podvir`yachko, stuchu, hruchu v vikno.

/ Znaydu svoho kozachen'ka, budu shchaslyvaya. / 2

Shchedryk, shchedryk, shchedrivochka,
Pryletila lastivochka,

Stala vona shchebetaty,
Hospodarya vyzyvaty.

– Viydy, viydy, hospodaryu,
Podyvisya na kosharu,

Chy vsi vivtsi pokotylys',
Chy yahnyata porodylys',

Skil'ky na khati dranychok,
Shob stil'ky bulo telychok,

Skil'ky na khati suchechok,
Shchob stil'ky bulo bychechok.

Syeno moye, syeno, pod toboyu voda,
Plakala, rydala dyevchyna moloda.

Plakala, rydala, kozaka pitala:
– Oy ty, kozachen'ku, zelenyy barvinku.

Oy ty, kozachen'ku, zelenyy barvinku,
Skazhy meni pravdu, chy mayesh ty zhonku.

– Oy mayu ya zhonku, shche y dyetochok dvoye,
A moye serden'ko krayet'sya nadvoye.

Krayet'sya nadvoye, na dvi polovyny,
A ya mayu zhynku des' na Ukrayini.

U Kiyevi, na rynochku, tam p`ye horilochku,
Propyv voly, propyv vozy, propyv yarma, shche y zanozy –
/ Vse chumats'keye dobro. / 2

Prokinuvsya chumak vrantsi – ta y shatnuvsya po karmantsi,
Vsi karmany vivertaye, a hroshey tam chorty maye,
/ Nichym pokhmelytysya. / 2

Pryyshov chumak do shynkarky: "Day, shynkarko, khoch pivcharky!"
Shynkarnochka tret'sya-mnet'sya, odvernet'sya, zasmiyet'sya,
/ Vse z chumaka-chudaka. / 2

Oy vyydu ya na horynu, podyvlyusya na dolynu,
Stoyat' vozy, lezhat' voly, visyat' yarma, shche y zanozy –
/ Vse chumats'keye dobro. / 2
