Y uhavarivali oba,
Y uhavarivali dva,
Dva dvaiuradnyie brata.
Dumaly, sho dura ya.

Ya y ne piana, ya y ne dura,
Bo y ne vyishla za vdovtsa.
Pamiezh khloptsamy huliala ‒
Ya b obrala maladtsa.

Pomnish, mylyi, darahoi,
Kak ty y uhavarival?
Pad nahami bielyi snieh
Da ziemli rastaival.

Mylyi moi, mylyi moi,
A ya tvaia mylaia.
Ne vliekaisia ty druhymy,
Znaiesh, ya revnyvaia.

Kosyv bat'ko, kosyv ya – ta y vykosyv solov`ya,
Solovey u sadu, t'okh da t'okh, kanareyechka,
Roman kosyt', Hapka v`yazhe, Kateryna zahriba,
Hryts'ko voly napuva, Hanna vodu vytyaha.
Oy mamo, lyublyu Hrytsya, Hryts' na konyku vertyt'sya,
V Hrytsya shapka do lytsya, lyublyu Hrytsya-molodtsya.

Pryydy, Hrytsyu, u nedilyu – dam sorochku tonku y bilu,
Solovey u sadu, t'okh da t'okh, kanareyechka,
Roman kosyt', Hapka v`yazhe, Kateryna zahriba,
Hryts'ko voly napuva, Hanna vodu vytyaha.
Oy mamo, lyublyu Hrytsya, Hryts' na konyku vertyt'sya,
V Hrytsya shapka do lytsya, lyublyu Hrytsya-molodtsya.

Pryydy, Hrytsyu, v ponedilok – pidem razom po barvinok,
Solovey u sadu, t'okh da t'okh, kanareyechka,
Roman kosyt', Hapka v`yazhe, Kateryna zahriba,
Hryts'ko voly napuva, Hanna vodu vytyaha.
Oy mamo, lyublyu Hrytsya, Hryts' na konyku vertyt'sya,
V Hrytsya shapka do lytsya, lyublyu Hrytsya-molodtsya.

Pryydy, Hrytsyu, u vivtorok – ta zv`yazhem razom snopiv sorok,
Solovey u sadu, t'okh da t'okh, kanareyechka,
Roman kosyt', Hapka v`yazhe, Kateryna zahriba,
Hryts'ko voly napuva, Hanna vodu vytyaha.
Oy mamo, lyublyu Hrytsya, Hryts' na konyku vertyt'sya,
V Hrytsya shapka do lytsya, lyublyu Hrytsya-molodtsya. Hop!

Meni Boh dohodyv, konopel' ne vrodyv,
Shchob ne pryala, ne mykala, a sydila tryndykala.

Tryndykala, tryndykala, povnu khatu naklykala,
A shche budu tryndykaty, shchob i v siny naklykaty.

Tantsyuvala hopaka – pobyla botinky,
Ostalysya na nohakh chulky ta rezynky.

Oy syp syrivets' ta kryshy open'ky,
Ne vdalas' ya do roboty – tak na vytryben'ky.

Krakovʼyachek pol's'kyy
S pol's'koyi natury,
/ Shapochka na baker,
A usiky dohury. / 2

Ya z polyakom tantsevala,
Ya z polyakom zharty mala,
Tol'ko polyak ne zhartuye,
Pidnyav khvartukh – ta y pakuye.

Oy ty polyak, ya polyachka,
Zahray meni krakovʼyachka,
A ya tobi zatantsuyu,
Shcho za perets', za tsybulyu.

Ya z polyakom tantsevala,
Ya z polyakom zharty mala
Tol'ko polyak ne zhartuye,
Pidnyav khvartukh – ta y pakuye.

Ot teper ya pydpyla, teper ya pyd'yila,
/ Dayte meni hrabel'ky, ya poydu do sina. / 2

Hromadyla, hromadyla, poky shtyry prynadyla,
/ A shche budu hromadyt', shchob shche shtyry prynadyt'. / 2

Cholovichen'ko myy, zhytniy kolosochku,
/ Ne poznala po shtanakh – to po holosochku. / 2

Molodychky moyi, molodesen'ki,
/ A de zh vashi choloviky, da y harnesen'ky? / 2

Oy zahrayte meni, zamuzychte meni,
/ Nema v mene cholovika, to y pozychte meni. / 2

Oy zahraly meni, zamuzychyly,
/ Nema v mene cholovika, y ne pozychyly. / 2

Oy khodymo, Hanno, volam yisty daymo,
/ Nekhay voly popasut'sya, a my pohulyaymo. / 2

Hulyaly, hulyaly, voly povtekaly,
/ A my z tym kozakom nichku prostoyaly. / 2

Do dobroho yazyka to y ne treba muzyka,
Ya pohrayu, poskachu – da y nekomu ne plachu,
Ya zahrayu, zaskachu – da y nekomu ne plachu.

Harmonist, harmonist, zharena kartoshka,
/ A khto zh tebe polyubyv by, yakby ne harmoshka? / 2

Harmonist, harmonist, kharasho vy hrayete,
/ Pochemu zh vy, harmonist, z namy ne hulyayete? / 2

Yak lyubyla Kolyu-Kolyu,
Ta y konfyety yila v volyu,
A yak stala lyubyt' Vanyu,
To y zubamy tarabanyu.

Okh, okh, ny day, Boh,
Z starykamy znat'sya,
Po kolina boroda –
Lize tsylovat'sya.

Oy ty, maty, oy ty, maty,
Navchy mene charuvaty,
Navchy mene vorozhyty,
Yak divchynu polyubyty.

Ya lyubyla paihrat'sya,
Ya lyubyla pashutit',
Za moyi vyes'oly shutki
Brosiv milyen'kiy lyubit'.

Ya chastushok mnoho znayu –
I khoroshykh, i plokhykh,
Dokazhy, moya podruha,
Yaksho ya ne dokazhu.

Ne polizu na berezu,
Bo vona shatayet'sya,
Ya bezzuboho lyublyu:
Bezzubyy ny kusayet'sya.

Ne polizu na berezu,
Bo boyusya vysoty,
Ne zhal' meni myleykoho,
Tyko yoho krasoty.

Oy mamtsyu moya,
Lyublyu chornoho ya,
Bo vin mene nazyvaye:
"Shchebetushko moya."

– Shchebetushko moya,
Hovorushko moya,
Perestan' hovoryt',
Bo mni sertse bolyt'.

Bo mni sertse bolyt',
Shche y pechonky bolyat',
Pusty myne, moya maty,
Na vechorky hulyat'.

– Na vechorky hulyat',
Nahulyatysya,
I z khoroshym kavalyerom
Nastoyatysya.

Kavalyeru, kavalyeru,
Nashcho byresh tu kholyeru,
To khyriye, to boliye,
Kozakovy sertse mliye.

Oy ishla ya chosom, chosom –
Ta y zustrila z dovhym nosom,
Khotiv mene tsyluvaty,
Ne vmiv nosom keruvaty.

Oy kazaly na myne,
Shcho ya y nyvelychka,
A ya svomu mylen'komu,
Yak pyrypelychka.

Oy kazaly na myne,
Shcho ya y marykanka,
Nyvelyka, y nymala,
Sama obiymanka.

Oy nadinu bile platya,
Po zemli volochyt'sya,
Polyubyla kapitana,
Shche y mayora khochet'sya.

Polyubila kapitana –
V yoho syeraya shinyel',
Posmotryela v dokumenty –
V yoho semero dytey.

Moya mila iz tosky,
Prohlotila try dosky,
Cherez trydtsyat' try nedili
Tiko yashchyky letily.

Dura ya, dura ya,
Dura ya, konechno,
Polyubyla duraka,
Propala navyechno.

– Kudy ydey, kudy ydesh,
Kudy chymkyndayesh?
– Do dyvok, do dyvok,
Khiba ty ny znayesh.

– Oy ty chuyesh, chy ty spysh,
Sho pobihla tuda mysh?
– Prysya Bohu, ya ne chula,
Yak vona tuda shmyhnula.

Yak lyubyla Kolyu-Kolyu,
Ta y konfyety yila v volyu,
A yak stala lyubyt' Vanyu,
To y zubamy tarabanyu.

Ya lyubyla Kolyu-Kolyu,
To y kanfyety yela v volyu,
A tipyer lyublyu ya Mishu,
I bumazhki nye uvizhu.

Oy byvala-nazyvala:
«Kolya, Kolya, Nikolay»,
A teper taka, zaraza,
Sho v hlaza ni popaday.

U Zamshanakh bolota
Zasiyany l'onom,
Zamshans'ki parubky
Pakhnut' dikalonom.

Yak bula ya moloda,
To bula ya lovka,
Ny khodyla na vulytsyu,
Boyalasya vovka.

Yak ya bula moloda,
To ya bula shchyra,
Usim khloptsyam davala
Za hrudochku syra.

Yak ya bula moloda,
To ya bula rizva,
Cherez shtyry monastyry
Do monakha lizla.

Oy maty moya,
A ya dochka tvoya,
Treba bulo byty, vchyty,
Yak malen'ka ya bula.

A typer ya velyka,
Treba myni cholovika –
Ny staroho, ny maloho,
Kavalyera molodoho.

Kovalyeru, kovalyeru,
Nashcho byresh tu kholyeru?
To khyriye, to boliye,
Kozakovi sertse mliye.

Oy doshchyk ide,
A ya sydzhu v yamtsy,
Ne shchypayte myne, khloptsy,
Bo ya skazhu mamtsy.

Barabany byly-byly,
Ya na yikh dyvylasya,
Barabanshchyk – harnyy khlopets',
Ya v yoho vlyubylasya.

Harmonistyku, hray,
Tvoye dilo – hraty,
Bo ty khochesh molodu
Divchynu kokhaty.


Oy pidu ya krakovˊyaka,
To mazury, to polyaka
To mazury, to pazyury,
A polyaka na besaka.


Oy zahrayte myni, podorozhnyye,
Khiba v mene ny takaya, yak u kozhnyyi?

Oy yabluchko, kudy kotyshsya?
Upad'osh – propad'osh, ne varotishsya.
