Ти Микола, я Микола - оба ми Миколи,
Тебе вбили біля церкви, мене - біля школи.
Тебе вбили біля церкви, бо ти не молився,
А мене - тому, що я із чортом водився.
Тебе вбили, бо ти спав у труні із дуба,
А мене - тому що я покохав сукуба.
Тобі вбили в серце ножа, мені вбили кола
Щоб із чорної труни не вставав ніколи,
Щоб по хатах не ходив чорними ночами,
Щоб на дівок не глядів чорними очами.
Хто там ходить за вікном в темряві навколо?
Ти Микола, я Микола

You Mikola, I Mikola - both Mikola,
You were killed near the church, I was killed near the school.
You were killed near the church because you did not pray,
And me - because I was with the devil.
You were killed because you slept in an oak coffin,
And me - because I loved sukuba.
You were stabbed in the heart, I was stabbed
To never get up from a black coffin,
That on houses did not go black nights,
That he did not look at the girls with black eyes.
Who is walking outside the window in the darkness around?
You are Mikola, I am Mikola
