Ти казала в понедiлок

Пiдем разом по барвiнок

You have told me that on Monday

We’ll gather periwinkles together

I’ve come, and there you aren’t,

You tricked me and let me down

Chorus:

You tricked me,

You let me down,

You’re making me, a young man,

Lose my mind.

You will kiss me forty times

I’ve come, and there you aren’t,

You tricked me and let me down

We’ll wrangle up the cattle together

You tricked me and let me down

I’ve come, and there you aren’t,

You tricked me and let me down
