На вулиці скрипка-бас (3 р.) Пусти, мамо, хоч на час 2 р.
Іди, доню, не барися (3 р.) За ворота тай вернися 2 р.
Що-ж то, мамо, за гуляння (3 р.) За ворота тай вертання 2 р.
Ой то ж мамо погулять Три дні вдома не бувать
А Ви, мамо, як гуляли (3 р.) Сім днів дома не бували 2 р.
А на восьмий день прийшли (3 р.) Наїлися тай пішли 2 р.
На вулиці скрипка-бас (3 р.) Пусти, мамо, хоч на час
Out in the street, the fiddle and the bass are playing. (three times) Let me go, Mother, just for a little while. (twice)
Go, my daughter, but do not linger. (three times) Step beyond the gate and then come back. (twice)
What kind of merry outing is that, Mother— (three times) Beyond the gate and straight back home? (twice)
Oh, Mother, a proper merry outing Means three days away from home!
But when you went out, Mother, (three times) You stayed away from home for seven days. (twice)
And on the eighth day you came back, (three times) Had your fill of food and went out again. (twice)
Out in the street, the fiddle and the bass are playing. (three times) Let me go, Mother, just for a little while.
