Doprezh dedy' ne vidali bedy', beda prishla, da bedu privela s napastyami, da s propastyami, s pravezhami, beda vsyo s poboyami! Bayu, bayu, mil vnuchyonochek, Ty' sy'n, usni, usni, krest`yanskij sy'n. Izzhivem bedu za rabotushkoj, za nemiloj, chuzhoj, nepokladnoyu, vekovechnoyu, zloyu, stradnoyu, zloyu, stradnoyu. Bayu, bayu, spi, usni pokol` izzhivem bedu, izzhivem bedu, gore minetsya pokol` Bog prostit, czar` sramitsya. Bayu, bayu, bayu! Bely'm tel`cem lezhish` v lyulechke, tvoya dushen`ka v nebesax letit, tvoj tixij son sam Gospod` xranit. Po bokam stoyat svetly' angely', toyat angely'!
