Uletal solovushko daljoko,
vo chuzhuju tjopluju storonku.
Uletal solovushko daljoko,
vo chuzhuju tjopluju storonku.

Vy proshchajte, ljudi dobrye, na dolgo,
uletet' pora moja nastala!
Na dolgo proshchajus' s vami, ljudi!
Uletet' pora moja nastala!

I spasibo vam za vashu ljubov', za lasku,
chto menja, solovushku, ne gnali,
pesni pet' mne, solov'ju, ne meshali,
malykh detok moikh ne zabizhali!

I ostalsja b ja teper' s vami,
da likha beda vashi morozy;
ne ljublju zimy vashej beloj,
ne ljublju ja bujnogo vetra!

A uzh kak vesna krasna vernjotsja,
s nej i ja vernus' k vam s novoj pesnej,
ja vernus' k vam s novoj pesnej!
