Iz lesov dremuchix, severny'x
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Iz lesov dremuchix, severny'x
Podnyalas` ne tuchka tyomnaya;
A rat` sil`naya, moguchaya —
Czarya groznova, Moskovskova.

Slovno pticza by'strolyotnaya
Proletela more sinee…
Pereshla tak sila russkaya
Step` pustuyu, neproxodnuyu.

I prishla ona, nezvanaya,
K czarstvu slavnomu, Kazanskomu,
K busurmanu — xanu lyutomu,
K svomu nedrugu zaklyatomu.

I kuda eshhyo — spit zoryushka,
A uzh b`yotsya Rus` s tatarinom, —
Steny' krepkie razrushila —
I poshla gulyat` po gorodu;

Voevody', rati xrabry'e
Ezdyat, b`yut tatar po uliczam;
A na bashne s russkim znamenem
Yuny'j czar` stoit — kak solny'shko!
