Kosarye kosyat, a vet'or povyevaye,
Shovkova trava na pokos vylyaha[ye].

A moya trava stoyit' ne koshenaya,
A ya, moloda, stoyu zasmuchena[ya].

Poydu do bratka vodu v bratka prositi:
– Pomozhy, bratku, travicheyku kosi[ti].

Sino moye, sino, na pokosakh silo,
/ Shcho moho myloho syloyky posil[o]. / 2

Pidu y u sadochok, uvirvu lystochok,
/ Mozhe, de y pobachu myloho slidochok. / 2

Shchob po tomu slidu lyudy ne khodyly,
Shchob moho myloho druhi y ne lyubyly.

Shchob po tomu slidu ptashky y ne litaly,
/ Shchob moho myloho druhi y ne kokhaly. / 2
