Oy, berezhysʹ, khloptsi
Darma nakynuly okom!
Oy, ne dlya vas sontse
Barvylo zolotyy lokon
Pered vamy buv odyn
Dotykom obpik ruky!
Strichkoyu piymala na hachok
Ta y lyshyvsya dym

Khodyatʹ chutky sered lyudey
Z rozumu zvodytʹ divcha rude
Khodyatʹ chutky sered lyudey
Pohlyadom yunu dushu krade
Khodyatʹ chutky sered lyudey
Z rozumu zvodytʹ divcha rude
Khodyatʹ chutky sered lyudey
Z neyu zahubysh svoye molode
Sertse

To zh, berezhysʹ, khloptsi
Z nih pozbyvaye potokom
Vykupana u sontsi
Yde vona vohnyanym krokom!
Pered vamy buv odyn
Zadyvyvsya, oy, bidnyy —
Strichkoyu piymala na hachok
Ta y zabuv pro dim

Khodyatʹ chutky sered lyudey
Z rozumu zvodytʹ divcha rude
Khodyatʹ chutky sered lyudey
Pohlyadom yunu dushu krade
Khodyatʹ chutky sered lyudey
Z rozumu zvodytʹ divcha rude
Khodyatʹ chutky sered lyudey
Z neyu zahubysh svoye molode
Sertse

Khodytʹ kazka mizh lyudey
Desʹ ye sad iz orkhidey
Tam zhyve divcha rude
Tebe z rozumu zvede
Blyskavkoyu z yantaryu
Pamʺyatayutʹ tu zoryu
Bezlich khloptsiv molodykh
Ta y zakokhanykh v rudykh

Khodyatʹ chutky sered lyudey
Z rozumu zvodytʹ divcha rude
Khodyatʹ chutky sered lyudey
Pohlyadom yunu dushu krade
Khodyatʹ chutky sered lyudey
Z rozumu zvodytʹ divcha rude
Khodyatʹ chutky sered lyudey
Z neyu zahubysh svoye molode
