Blagoslovljaju vas, lesa, doliny, nivy, gory, vody, Blagoslovljaju ja svobodu i golubye nebesa! I posokh moj blagoslovljaju, i `etu bednuju sumu, I step' ot kraju i do [kraju]1, i solnca svet, i nochi t'mu, I odinokuju tropinku, po kojej, nishchij, ja idu, I v pole kazhduju bylinku, i v nebe kazhduju zvezdu! O, jesli b mog vsju zhizn' smeshat' ja, Vsju dushu vmeste s vami slit', O, jesli b mog v moi ob"jat'ja ja vas, vragi, druz'ja, i brat'ja, I vsju prirodu v moi ob"jat'ja zakljuchit'!
