Текст песни
Била мене мати,
Березовим прутом,
Щоби я не стояла
З молодим рекрутом.
А я собi стояла,
Аж півні запiли,
На дверi воду лляла,
Щоби не скрипiли.
На дверi воду лляла,
На пальцях ходила,
Щоб мати не почула,
Щоби не сварилась.
А мати не спала,
Та все чисто чула,
На мене не сварилась,
Сама така була.
Сьогоднi субота,
А завтра недiля,
Чом на тобi козаче,
Сорочка не бiла.
Не бiла, не бiла,
Тай не буде бiла,
Мати не випрала,
Сестра не схотiла.
Мати не випрала,
Бо уже старенька,
Сестра не випрала,
Бо ще молоденька.
Перевод песни
She used to have me,
Birch rod,
That I would not stand
With a young recruit.
And I stood there,
Up until the cocks sank,
Water was pouring on the door,
In order not to creak.
Water was pouring on the door,
She walked on her toes,
To prevent my mother from hearing,
In order not to quarrel.
And my mother was awake
Yes, I heard everything perfectly,
I didn't quarrel,
It was like that.
This is Saturday,
And tomorrow is Sunday,
What about you goat,
The shirt was not white.
It wasn't, it wasn't,
Tai won't be white,
Mother didn't fix it,
My sister didn't want to.
Mother didn't fix it,
Because she's old,
Sister didn't fix it,
Because she's still young.
