Melo, melo po vsej zemle Vo vse predely. Sveča gorela na stole, Sveča gorela. Kak letom roem moškara Letit na plamja, Sletalis' chlop'ja so dvora K okonnoj rame. Metel' lepila na stekle Kružki i strely. Sveča gorela na stole, Sveča gorela. Na ozarennyj potolok Ložilis' teni, Skreščen'ja ruk, skreščen'ja nog, Sud'by skreščen'ja. I padali dva bašmačka So stukom na pol. I vosk slezami s nočnika Na plat'e kapal. I vse terjalos' v snežnoj mgle Sedoj i beloj. Sveča gorela na stole, Sveča gorela. Na svečku dulo iz ugla, I žar soblazna Vzdymal, kak angel, dva kryla Krestoobrazno. Melo ves' mesjac v fevrale, I to i delo Sveča gorela na stole, Sveča gorela.
