Ce my chlopci nekopalci nas mamka rodela,
Na skurvenu holovočku aby nas ľubela,
Aj, rička dana dana, aby nas ľubela.
S Kolomyji, s Kolomyji ja upaṷ upomyji,
Ne dale me pohynuti d’iṷky čornobryvi,
Aj, rička dana dana,
Ne dale me pohynuti d’iṷky čornobryvi.
We are fellow worthy, our mother gave birth to us,
Damn it, for you to love us;
Ay, river, dana dana, for you to love us.
From Kolomyia, from Kolomyia, I fell into the hogwash,
But beautiful girls did not let me perish.
Ay, river, dana dana,
But beautiful girls did not let me perish.
