Little grey kitty,
Little white kitty,
Furry little cat,
Don't walk about the house.
Don't walk about the house,
Don't wake the baby.
The baby will sleep,
The kitty will purr.
Oh you, cat, purring,
Bring drowsiness to the child.
Ay, lullaby, lullaby.

🔤 How to read it (Latin transliteration)
Kotyku sirenʹkyi,
Kotyku bilenʹkyi,
Kotyk volokhatyi,
Ne khody po khati.
Ne khody po khati,
Ne budy dytyaty.
Dytya bude spaty,
Kotyk vorkuvaty.
Oy ty, kote, vorkota,
Na dytynu – drimota.
Ay, lyuli-lyuli.
