Barin moj milen'kij,
Barin moj dobren'kij!
Szhal'sja nad bednen'kim,
Gor'kim, bezdomnym sirotochkoj!
Barinushka!

Kholodom, golodom grejus', kormljusja ja,
Burej da v'jugoju v noch' prikryvajusja,
Bran'ju, pobojami, strakhom, ugrozoj
Dobrye ljudi za stolik golodnyj moj potchujut!

V chashchu-l' dremuchuju ot ljudej sprjachus' ja,
Golod dokuchlivyj iz lesu vytolknet.
Net mojej silushki,
Pit', jest' zakhochetsja.

Barin moj milen'kij,
Barin moj dobren'kij!
S golodu smert' strashna,
S kholodu stynet krov'.

Barin moj dobren'kij,
Szhal'sja nad bednen'kim,
Szhal'sja nad gor'kim sirotochkoj!
