Свет мой Савишна, сокол ясненький, Полюби меня неразумнова, Приголубь меня горемычнова! Ой-ли, сокол мой, сокол ясенький, Светик Савишна, свет Ивановна, Не побрезгай ты голью голою, Бесталанною моей долею! Уродился вишь на смех людям я, Про забаву да на потехи им! Кличут: Савишна, скорбным разумом Величают, слышь, Ваней Божиим, Светик Савишна, свет Ивановна, И дают пиньков Ване Божьему, Кормят чествуют подзатыльником. А под праздничек как разрядятся, Уберутся вишь в ленты алые, Дадут хлебушка Ване скорбному, Не забыть чтобы Ваню Божьего. Светик Савишна, ясный сокол мой, Полюби-ж меня непригожева, Приголубь меня одинокова! Как люблю тебя, мочи нет сказать, Светик Савишна, верь мне, верь не верь, Свет Ивановна!

Chère Savichna mienne, mon faucon brillant, Aime-moi, sot comme je suis, Viens vers ce malchanceux ! Oh, mon faucon, mon faucon brillant, Chère Savichna, chère Ivanovna, Ne dédaigne pas ce pauvre garçon misérable, Au sort médiocre ! Depuis ma naissance les gens rient de moi, Ils s'amusent de moi ! Ils disent, Savichna, que je suis faible d'esprit, Écoute, ils m'appellent saint Vania, Chère Savichna, chère Ivanovna, Et ils donnent des coups à saint Vania, Ils nourrissent et m'honorent avec une tape sur la tête. Mais aux fêtes quand ils se parent Et se couvrent de rubans rouges, Ils donnent au pauvre Vania une croûte de pain, Pour ne pas oublier saint Vania. Chère Savichna mienne, mon faucon brillant, Aime-moi, Viens vers ce malchanceux ! Comme je t'aime, Chère Savichna, crois-moi ou pas, Chère Savichna !
