„Gospodi pomiluj papu i mamu
i spasi ich, Gospodi!
Gospodi pomiluj bratca Vasen'ku
i bratca Mišen'ku!
Gospodi pomiluj babušku staren'kuju,
Pošli ty ej dobroe zdorov'ice,
Babuške dobren'koj,
babuške staren'koj, Gospodi!
I spasi, Bože naš, tëtju Katju,
tëtju Natašu, tëtju Mašu, tëtju Parašu,
Tëtej Ljubu, Varju, i Sašu, 
i Olju, i Tanju, i Nadju,
Djadej Petju i Kolju, djadej Volodju
i Grišu, i Sašu, i vsech ich,
Gospodi, spasi i pomiluj,
i Filju, i Vanju, i Mitju, i Petju,
i Dašu, Pašu, Sonju, Dunjušku. . . 
Njanja! a, njanja! Kak dal'še, njanja?”

„Viš' ty, prokaznica kakaja!
Už skol'ko raz učila:
Gospodi pomiluj i menja grešnuju!”

„Gospodi pomiluj i menja grešnuju!
Tak, njanjuška?”
