Liuli-liuli, kotky dva,
Siryi, bilyi, obydva,
Po stepochku khodyly,
Kacheniata honyly?
A ta ... na yushechku,
A piriachko v podushechku.
A-a-a, liuliuli.

Liuli-liuli kotku,
Ne liz na kolodku,
Bo zabiesh holovku
Ta y bude bolity,
Nichym zahoity.
Bula yidna namitochka
Ta y tu nianky vkraly,
Na lialky porvaly
A-a-a, liuliuli.

Liuli-liuli, kotochok,
Ukrav v babky klubochok,
Ta y ponis poza lis,
Ta y znov mamtsi prynis.
Staly kotka byty,
Staly kotka vchyty.
Ne vchys, kotku, krasty,
A uchys robyty,
Cherevychky shyty.
Zakabluchky z kabachka,
Yak vyidu ya na vulytsiu
Yak udariu tropachka.
A-a-a, liuliuli.

Hop, hop, hopaka,
Sho ya zrodu taka
Sho ya taka bambula,
Borshch zaterty zabula.

Ya malenkyi khlopchyk
Ta y vyliz na stovpchyk,
U dudochku hraie,
Divchatok sklykaie,
Liuliu-liuliuli.
Pryletily huli,
Staly vurkotaty,
Borka bude spaty.

Liuli-liuli, liuliuchky,
Shovkovii vervechky,
She y zoloti byltsia,
Kolysala maty syna
Svoho chornobryvtsia.
A-a-a, oi liuli.

Ai nu liuli, liuli, liuli,
Naletily z polia huli, a-a-a!
Da y posily na vorotiakh
U chervonenkykh chobotiakh, a-a-a!
Tsytte, huli, ne hudite,
Spyt dytiatko, ne zbudite, a-a-a-a!
Bo dytiatko bude spaty,
Hospod bude nahliadaty,
Dolenkoiu nadiliaty, a-a-a-a!
Os pryishla dobra hodyna,
Spyt malenkaia dytyna, a-a-a-a!
Spy dytiatko do vechora,
Poky pryide maty z polia, a-a-a-a!
Da y prynese try kvitochky
Z zelenoho barvinochku, a-a-a-a!
Odna kvitochka ‒ sonlyva,
Druha kvitochka ‒ dremlyva,
A tretiaia ‒ da y shchaslyva, a-a-a-a!

Oy lyulichky, lyuli,
Naletily huli,
Staly dumat' i hadat',
Chym Ivanka hoduvat'.

Khyti, khyti, a konyky v zhyti,
Nikomu vyhnaty, til'ky Mykyti,
A Mykyta ne hulya, cherevychky popravlya.

Kuy, kuy, chobitok,
Poday, babo, molotok,
Ne podasy molotok –
Ne pidkuyu chobitok.
Kyn' kopiyechku na tarilochku.

Soroka-vorona na prypichku sydila,
Ditkam kashku varyla, ts'omu dam,
Ts'omu dam, ts'omu dam, ts'omu dam,
A ts'omu ne dam, tsey drov ne rubav, v lis ne khodyv,
Borshchu y kashi ne varyv.
Hay-hay, poletily, na holovku sily.

Ladky-ladusi, de buly v babusi,
A sho yily – kashku, a sho pyly – brazhku,
Kashku poyily, brazhku popyly, hey-hey, poletily,
Na holovku sily.

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 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,

I to ditky vkraly,
Na lyalʹky porvaly,

Ne khody do nas, babay,
Do nashoyi khatky,

De kobyla, tam losha,
A kobylu zily vovky,
A loshatko ‒ psy, psy.

Na kotika skazala.

Poshla kyts'ka po vodichku
Da y upala u krynichku.

Polozhyv yiyi na sukho.
Okh lyezhysh ty kyts'ko tuty,
A y poydu, znaydu prutyk.
Poky prutyka znayshov,
