Kurit-kuryt, kurit-kuryt dorozheyka

Lyrics

Kurit-kuryt, kurit-kuryt dorozheyka,
Tudoyu yshla sirotoyka.

A strichaye, a strichaye yi Hospod' Boh,
A strichaye, da y pytaye:

– Kuda ydesh, kuda ydesh, sirotoyko?
Byedna tvoya holovoyka.

– Idu, Bozhe, ydu, Bozhe, hukayuchy,
Svoyu mamku shukayuchy.

– Oy vyernisa, oy vyernisa, sirotoyko,
Svoyey mamky ty ne znaydesh.

Svoyey mamky, svoyey mamky ty ne znaydesh,
Ono ty dalyeko zaydesh.

Azh prykhodyu, azh prykhodyu do mohyly,
Azh prykhodyu, da y hukayu.

– Ustan', mamko, ustan', mamko, podivisa,
Da y na svoyu sirotoyku.

Da y na svoyu, da y na svoyu sirotoyku,
Da y na svoyu malyeykuyu.

– Khto zh to mene, khto zh to mene probuzhdaye,
Mnye lyezhati tut ne daye?

– To ya, mamko, to ya, mamko, sirotoyka,
Byedna moya holovoyka.

– Idi, donyu, idi, donyu, day dodomu,
V tebe mati molodaya.

V tebe mati, v tebe mati molodaya,
Byelo zmyye, shche y rozcheshe.

Byelo zmyye, byelo zmyye, shche y rozcheshe,
Da koshulyu proklinaye.

– Shchob ty syeye, shchob ty syeye ne znosyla,
A druhoye ne prosila.

Shchob ty syeye, shchob ty syeye ne dozhdala,
A druhoye ne prokhala.
