Tam kin' bizhyt', trava shumyt',
A v tiy travi kozak lezhyt',
Nahaykoyu pobytyy,
Kytaykoyu nakrytyy.
A-a-a-a-a-a-a.

Oy kotku, kotochok,
Nashcho vkrav klubochok?
Da ponis do Oli,
Polozhyv na lobi.
Halya stala byty,
Kotyka uchyty:
– Ne vchys', kotu, krasty,
A vchysya robyty,
Cherevychky shyty,
Hroshi zaroblyaty,
Ditok hoduvaty.
A-a-a-a-a-a-a.

Khyti-khyti, konyky v zhyti,
Treba pastushka naynyat',
Konyka vyhanyat'.
A-a-a-a-a…
Spy, miy malen'kyy,
Spy, miy harnen'kyy,
Malen'kyy.

Oy ty, kote siryy,
Vymety nam siny.
A ty, biluvatyy,
Prybery nam v khati.
A ty, kote rud'ku,
Vytopy nam hrubku.
A ty, kote chornyy,
Siday v sribnyy choven,
Lovy rybky poven.

Hoyda, hoyda, hoydasha,
De kobyla, tam losha,
A kobyla v lisi,
A losha u bisi.

Soroka-vorona na prypichku sydila,
Ditkam kashku varyla.
– Ts'omu dam, ts'omu dam, ts'omu dam, a ts'omu ne dam.
Vin drov ne rubav, vin vody ne nosyv,
Vin kashu ne varyv – nema tobi kashi.

Oy chuk, chukyna, yaka divka chepurna,
Ne vmyvalas', ne vtyralas',
Tak i zamizh pishla.

Oy chuk, chuk, nalovyv did shchuk,
Baba rybku peche, skovoridka teche.

Oy chuk, chuk, chuk, nalovyv did shchuk,
A babusya – plitochok, hoduvaty ditochok.

Pishla kytsya po vodytsyu
Ta y upala u krynytsyu,
Pishov kotyk ratuvaty
Ta za vushka vytyahaty.

Oy v nashoho Omelichka
Nevelychka simeyichka:
Tilʹky vin ta vona,
Ta staryy, ta stara,
Ta dvi Khrysti v namysti,
Ta dvi lyalʹky v kolystsi,
Ta dva drova nosyly,
Ta dva pichku topyly,
Ta dva vodu prynosyly,
Ta dva v pichku unosyly.

Oy lyulichky-lyuli,
Nalytily huli,
Staly dumatʹ she y hadatʹ,
Chym dytyatko hoduvatʹ.
Oy kotyku-kotku,
Ne lizʹ na kolodku,
Bo zabʺyesh holovochku,
Holovka bude bolitʹ,
Nichym bude zavertitʹ,
Troshky bulo sholku,
Zavertitʹ holovku,
I to ditky vkraly,
Na lyalʹky porvaly,

Oy lyuli-lyuli,
Oy lyulichky, bayu-bay,
Ne khody do nas, babay,
Do nashoyi khatky,
Ditochok kachatky,
Oy lyuli-lyuli,
Oy lyuli-lyuli.

Hoida, hoida, hoidasha
De kobyla, tam losha,
A kobylu zily vovky,
A loshatko ‒ psy, psy.
Ty, dytynko, spy, spy.
Kar, kar, vorona
Ditiam kashky varyla.
‒ Idit, ditky, po trisky,
Dam vam, kashky po-troshky.
