Barin moj milen`kij,
Barin moj dobren`kij!
Szhal`sya nad bednen`kim,
Gor`kim, bezdomny'm sirotochkoj!
Barinushka!

Xolodom, golodom greyus`, kormlyusya ya,
Burej da v`yugoyu v noch` prikry'vayusya,
Bran`yu, poboyami, straxom, ugrozoj
Dobry'e lyudi za stolik golodny'j moj potchuyut!

V chashhu-l` dremuchuyu ot lyudej spryachus` ya,
Golod dokuchlivy'j iz lesu vy'tolknet.
Net moej silushki,
Pit`, est` zaxochetsya.

Barin moj milen`kij,
Barin moj dobren`kij!
S golodu smert` strashna,
S xolodu sty'net krov`.

Barin moj dobren`kij,
Szhal`sya nad bednen`kim,
Szhal`sya nad gor`kim sirotochkoj!
