Uzh svet dnevnoj ukhodil, Krest'janin pole skosil, Snopy uvjazal, slozhil, Zaskirdoval na toku Zolotuju pshenicu. Doroga gusana k skirdam privela. Lira gusana — cherep vola. Tri mezh rogami struny Tugo natjanuty, prikrepleny: `E-ge-ge-ge! `E-ge-ge-ge! Gusan poklonilsja, na snop prisel, Po strunam udaril, zapel: «Kak ne slavit' nam khleba — Blago naroda? Khleb – i potreba, Khleb – i svoboda! `E-ge-ge-ge! My khlebopashcam ot chistoj dushi Pozhelajem dolgije dni. Nasyshchajut, pitajut mir odni, Khleboroby odni. I o vas my pojem, o svobode vashej pojem, I o khlebe svjatom my pojem!» `E-ge-ge-ge! Pernatye stai sleteli s nebes, Zashchebetali krugom ikh golosa. Vzjali dolju oni, podnjalis' v nebesa.
