Melo, melo po vsej zemle Vo vse predely'. Svecha gorela na stole, Svecha gorela. Kak letom roem moshkara Letit na plamya, Sletalis` xlop`ya so dvora K okonnoj rame. Metel` lepila na stekle Kruzhki i strely'. Svecha gorela na stole, Svecha gorela. Na ozarenny'j potolok Lozhilis` teni, Skreshhen`ya ruk, skreshhen`ya nog, Sud`by' skreshhen`ya. I padali dva bashmachka So stukom na pol. I vosk slezami s nochnika Na plat`e kapal. I vse teryalos` v snezhnoj mgle Sedoj i beloj. Svecha gorela na stole, Svecha gorela. Na svechku dulo iz ugla, I zhar soblazna Vzdy'mal, kak angel, dva kry'la Krestoobrazno. Melo ves` mesyacz v fevrale, I to i delo Svecha gorela na stole, Svecha gorela.
