Ta ne sama, ta ne sama
Kalenu lamala,
Lamaṷ jeji my mëleňkyj
Ja leš prehynala, ja leš prehynala.

Iz meleňkej, ja meleňkej,
Hajok zeleneňkyj,
Čomu miňi čeres tebe
Svitok nevylneňkyj, svitok nevylneňkyj.

It was not I, it was not I
who broke the guelder-rose;
It was my sweetheart who broke it.
I was only bending it, only bending it.

Oh, my sweetheart, oh, my sweetheart,
My lovely green grove;
Why is it that because of you
The world seems so restricted to me, so restricted to me.
