Улетал соловушко далёко, во чужую тёплую сторонку. Улетал соловушко далёко, во чужую тёплую сторонку. Вы прощайте, люди добрые, на долго, улететь пора моя настала! На долго прощаюсь с вами, люди! Улететь пора моя настала! И спасибо вам за вашу любовь, за ласку, что меня, соловушку, не гнали, песни петь мне, соловью, не мешали, малых деток моих не забижали! И остался б я теперь с вами, да лиха беда ваши морозы; не люблю зимы вашей белой, не люблю я буйного ветра! А уж как весна красна вернётся, с ней и я вернусь к вам с новой песней, я вернусь к вам с новой песней!

Le petit rossignol s'envolait au loin Vers un autre pays chaud. Le petit rossignol s'envolait au loin Vers un autre pays chaud. Adieu, bonnes gens, pour longtemps, Il est temps que je parte Bonnes gens, je vous dis au revoir ! Il est temps que je parte ! Je vous remercie pour votre amour, votre affection, Qui ne me persécutent pas, moi le petit rossignol, Qui ne me gênent pas, moi le rossignol, en chantant des chansons, Que les petits enfants n'offensent pas . Je resterais bien maintenant avec vous, Mais le problème est votre gel ; Je n'aime pas votre hiver blanc, Je n'aime pas le vent violent. Mais quand le printemps reviendra Avec lui, je reviendrai vers vous avec une nouvelle chanson, Je reviendrai vers vous avec une nouvelle chanson !
