Roslyj strelok, ostorožnyj ochotnik, Prizrak s ruž'em na razlive duši! Ne dobiraj menja sotym do sotni, Čuvstvu na korm po častjam ne kroši. Daj mne podnjat'sja nad smert'ju pozornoj. S noči oden' menja v tal'nik i led. Utrom spugni s močežiny ozernoj. Cel'sja, vsë končeno! Bej menja vlët. Za vysotu ž ėtoj zvonkoj razluki, O, prenebregnutye moi, Blagodarju i celuju vas, ruki Rodiny, robosti, družby, sem'i.
