«Numo, šče raz, mij kovalju, Vdar po dzvinkij stali stallju!» – «Oj, v ruci vže syl nema, Zasteljaje oči t'ma…» «Bil'š zachopljuj hrud'my duchu, Ščob okripnuty, ta j buchaj. Dužče byj, chaj žar valyt', Chaj od bolju stal' syčyt', – Z toï muky, z toho bolju Ty skuješ vinec' na volju; Bude volja u vinci – Ožyvut' todi j starci…» Metušat'sja iskry, sjajut', I hudut'-hudut', spivajut', Nače bdžoly ohnjani… Vže pro sonce čut' pisni… A koval' kryčyt': «Vmyraju! Bil'še syly vže ne maju!» – Na kovadli styhne stal', Pid kovadlom – sam koval'… – «Oj, vmyraju!» Ta, kriz' tuhu, [Bil'š]1 z kovadla čuty druhu Rič veselu ta novu: – «Oj, žyvu, žyvu, žyvu!»
