Kak poshjol ja s kazakami, Ganna govorila: «Za tebja ja so slezami Boga umolila: Ty vernjosh'sja s pervoj bitvy Vesjol i zdoroz - Privezi zh mne za molitvy Nitku korol'kov!» Bog poslal nam atamana: Srazu my razbili V pukh i prakh vse vojsko khana, Gorod poloni li, Sbili krepkije vorota - Pir dlja kazakov! U menja odna zabota Nika korol'kov! Vdrug sama v glaza [sverknula]1 Znat' pomog vsevyshnij - I sama mne v gorst' jurknula Aloj, krupnoj vishnej. Ja dobychu krepko stisnul, Da i byl takov: Prjamo k Ganne step'ju svistnul S nitkoj korol'kov. I ne sprashival ja broda, Gati ili mosta... Zvon u nashego prikhoda; Ljud valit s pogosta - I krichit mne vsja gromada Sotnej golosov: «Ganna tam - i jej ne nado Nitki korol'kov!» Serdce szhalos', zamiraja, V grudi razdroblennoj, I upal s konja, rydaja, Ja [pered]2 ikonoj! o pashchade Ja molil bez slov I povesil na oklade Nitku korol'kov.
