Lyrics

V subotu piznen'ko, v nedilyu ranen'ko,
/ Kuvala zozulya to y tak zhalibnen'k[o]. / 2

Oy to ne zozulya – to ridnaya maty,
/ Vona vyrazhala synochka v soldat[y]. / 2

– Oy ydy, miy synochku, oy ydy, ne barysya,
/ Za rochok, za druhyy dodomu vernys[ya]. / 2

Vzhe rochok mynaye, synochka nemaye,
/ A syn lysty pyshe, chuzhaya storon[a]. / 2

– Oy mamtsyu, ty b znala, yaka tut obida,
/ To b ty pereslala horobchykom khlib[a]. / 2

Horobchykom khliba, synytseyu soly,
/ Oy mamtsyu, mamusyu, propav ya v nevol[i]. / 2
