Vam povedayu pravdu-matushku,
Pravdu-matushku pro ushkujnikov,
Pro razbojnikov novgorodskiix,
Pro nabegi ix pro udaly'e
Vo temnuyu noch` na torgovy'j lyud.
Kak na Il`mene, svetlom ozere,
Strugi novy'e snaryazhalisya,
Strugi vol`ny'e da torgovy'e,
Razukrasheny' krasny'm parusom,
Ponagruzheny' cenny'm zhemchugom,
Zolotoj parchoj zavaleny',
Dorogie mexa pripryatany',
Soboliny'e da gornostaevy',
A za nimi vsled sobirayutsya
Na svoix lad`yax,
Boevy'x sudax,
Vol`na vol`nicza, vse ushkujniki,
Vse razbojnichki,
Pogulyat` xotyat na razdol`ice,
Pozhivit`sya dobrom kupecheskim.
Temnoj nochen`koj napravlyayutsya,
Na zare s kupczom vstrechayutsya,
Vse tovary' zabirayutsya,
I kupcy' na dno spuskayutsya.
A vataga vsya udalyaetsya,
Kak by'laya by'l` zaby'vaetsya.
