The son's mother swayed
Mournful
Nova Cherneshchyna, Sakhnovshchynskyi District01:00

Мати сина колихала,
І дня й ночки не доспала,
І думала добрий буде,
І він неньку ж не забуде.

А він виріс ледацюга,
Превеликий волоцюга,
І став неньку проганяти,
І став неньку ж виганяти.

Іди, нене, ти від мене,
Будуть, нене, гості в мене,
У кафтанах і в жупанах,
........................................

А ти, нене, в сірячині
Та в драненькій запасчині.
І пішла ненька хитаючи,
Попід вікон і питаючи,

Ой, де хатка теплесенька,
Де дитина манесенька,
Буду й хатку замітати
І дитинку колихати.
