Oy na dubovi ta hilky hnutʹsya, oy,
Ta y na kozaku ta y kudri vʺyutʹsya.
Oy na dubovi ta shche y hnuchkishi, oy,
Ta y na kozaku ta shche y kudrishi.
Ta protry, divko, ta dribni slʹozy, oy,
Ta y poky zaydu ta y za birʹozy.
Za birʹozy ta y za sadochok, oy,
Ta y poky narvu ta y yahidochok.
Yahidochok ta y ne narvala, oy,
Ta y soloveyka ta y uspiymala.
Soloveyko ta shchebetlyvyy, oy,
Ta skazhy pravdu ta y de miy myloy.
A tviy mylyy ta y u shynochku, oy,
Ta y pʺye pyvo-med ta y horilochku.
