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:

A vchysya robyty,
Cherevychky shyty,
Hroshi zaroblyaty,
Ditok hoduvaty.
A-a-a-a-a-a-a.

Soroka-vorona na prypichku sydila,
Ditkam kashku varyla.

Vin drov ne rubav, vin vody ne nosyv,
Vin kashu ne varyv – nema tobi kashi.

Kotyku siren'kyy, ne khody do khaty,
Ne khody do khaty, ne budy dytyaty,
