Pechal'na noch',
Kaprizen den',
I priachet dozhd'
Rassveta ten'.
Tuda, gde zhdut
Sniat' urozhaj,
Ia ukhozhu,
Ne provozhaj.
Perekati-pole,
S Dona do Angary,
Gde tochit kamen'-Shaman,
Letopisets-Bajkal.
Perekati-pole,
S Leny i do Nevy,
Gde na rassvete zvezdoj
Ia vstal!
Plach, plach,
Da nalivaj skorej.
Plach, plach,
Ia propilsia v dym.
Plach, plach,
Da eshche nalej.
Plach, plach,
Khorosho sidim.
Plach, plach,
Da po vsej Rusi,
Plach, plach,
Ehkh, do pesen li!
Plach, plach,
Gde ni kolesi,
Plach, plach,
Kak ni veseli.
Kuda ni glian',
Groza v glaza,
Kak s nishchikh dan',
Pod obraza,
Da s p'ianykh glaz,
Vse khorosho,
Gorim na raz,
Lish' tol'ko dozhd' proshel.
Perekati-pole,
S Ladogi na Onon,
Gde zaklinatel' stepej
S kolybeli plel most.
Perekati-pole,
S Shamory na Moskvu,
Gde chernym makom v ogne
Ia ros!
