The earliest known version of the lyrics were written by Ostap Hawaleshka in 1960 with the title "Мій Батько був мандрівником" as a loose translation of the German song "Mein vater war ein wandersmann / Der fröhliche wanderer" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hx0r0R6q5YQ ) which he had heard on the radio in Canada. The song became massively popular and by 1961 Plastuny in Buenos Aires were already singing it.

By 1966 a song titled "Я є веселий мандрівник" existed in the USA (source: [https://web.archive.org/web/20201206174314/http://vydavnytstvo.plastscouting.org/yunak/arkhiv/1966_11.pdf Юнак 1966-11] (ст 24)) | By 1966 a song titled "Я є веселий мандрівник" existed in the USA (source: [https://web.archive.org/web/20201206174314/http://vydavnytstvo.plastscouting.org/yunak/arkhiv/1966_11.pdf Юнак 1966-11] (ст 24)). It is unclear what lyrics were actually being sung at that time - the earliest set of lyrics under this title that I've found are from 1996. Today, "Я є веселий мандрівник" is the more popular variant and while the lyrics are substantially different than Ostap's, there are a few lines which show some influence, e.g.: | ||
Ostap's lyrics: І так я буду мандрувать аж поки я не вмру | Ostap's lyrics: І так я буду мандрувать аж поки я не вмру | ||
