Language: Ukrainian (Українська)
— Oj umer stary`j bat`ko I staren`kaya maty`, Ta nema komu shhy`royi [Tiyi radon`ky`]1 daty`. Shho meni na sviti, Sy`roti, roby`ty`? Chy` jty` v lyude zhy`ty`, Chy` doma zhury`ty`s`? Oj pidu ya v gaj zeleny`j, Posazhu ya rutu. Yakshho zijde moya ruta, Ostanusya tuta, Pry`jde my`ly`j v moyu xatu Xazyayinuvaty`. A yak zhe ni, to ya pidu Dolen`ku shukaty`. — Posxody`la taya ruta, V gayi zeleniye. A divchy`na-sy`roty`na U najmax marniye.
