Тому коса добре косит,
Кому мила їсти носит, гея, гой!
І мені би так косила, гея, гоя,
І мені би так косила,
Коли б мені мила їсти носила.

Там на горі пень дуплявий,
А мій милий кучерявий, гея, гой!
Кучерики на ним скачут, гея, гоя,
Кучерики на ним скачут,
Карі очка за ним плачут, гея, гой!

А мій милий не лінивий,
Купив собі гребінь кривий, гея, гой!
Кучерики розчесати, гея, гоя,
Кучерики розчесати,
Щоб не були пелехаті, гея, гой!

А добре ся, добре маю,
На горбочку хыжу маю, гея, гой!
Хыжу маю на горбочку, гея, гоя,
Хыжу маю на горбочку,
Серед села фраїрочку, гея, гой!

The scythe cuts well for the one,
to whom the dear one brings food, heya-hoy!
Mine would cut well too, heya-hoya,
Mine would cut well too,
If my beloved brought food to me as well.

There's a hollow stump on the mountain,
And my dear is a curly-haired one, heya-hoy!
Curls are bouncing on him, heya-hoya,
Curls are bouncing on him,
My brown eyes are crying for him, heya-hoy!

And my darling is not lazy,
I bought myself a crooked comb, heya-hoy!
To comb his curls, hey-hoya,
To comb his curls
So that his hair is not shaggy, heya-hoy!

And me, I'm doing good,
Up on the hill, I've got a hut, heya-hoy!
I've got a hut on the hill, heya-hoya,
I've got a hut on the hill,
And a girlfriend in the center of the village, heya-hoy!
