Nishchaja
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Zima, metel' i v krupnykh khlop'jakh pri sil'nom vetre sneg valit.
U vkhoda v khram odna, v lokhmot'jakh starushka nishchaja stoit...
I, podajanija ozhidaja, ona vse tut s kljukoj svojej,
I letom, i zimoj bosaja... 
  podajte Khrista radi jej! Podajte Khrista radi jej!

Skazat' li vam, starushka `eta kak dvadcat' let tomu zhila.
Ona byla mechtoj po`eta i slava jej venok plela.
Kogda ona na scene pela Parizh v vostorge byl ot nej.
Ona sopernic ne imela...
  podajte Khrista radi jej! Podajte Khrista radi jej!

Byvalo posle predstavlenija jej ot tolpy projezda net.
I molodezh' ot voskhishchenija gremela "Bravo" jej vosled.
Kakimi pyshnymi khvalami kadil jej krug jee gostej -
Pri schast'e vse druzhatsja s nami,
  pri gore netu tekh druzej... Pri gore netu tekh druzej...

Svjataja volja providenija... Artistka sdelalas' bol'na,
Lishilas' golosa i zrenija i brodit po miru odna.
Byvalo, nishchij ne boitsja prijti za milostynej k nej,
Ona zh u vas prosit' styditsja...
  podajte Khrista radi jej! Podajte Khrista radi jej!
