Tukej [gori]1 se nesnáni
   Vélki svéti súzhejo,
S' luzhjo sonza so obdáni,
   Krógle póte tékajo;
Svésda svésdi je soséda,
   Njih sa nas shtevíla ní,
Ena v' drugo svétlo gléda,
   Vsaka Boshjo zhest gori.
 
Svétla zésta je raspéta
   Zhés breskonzhni néba sid,
Tam se vósi zhast ozhéta,
   Visha póte svésdnih rid:
Vse je króglo, vse se miga,
   Vse od ognja svéti se,
Vse osnani, de velika
   Roka svét stvaríla je.
 
Tvoje velizhástvo, Vezhni!
   Trume svésd nam právijo,
Kako bomo she le srézhni,
   Zhé mí k' tebi prídemo;
Skós teh svétov svét bo péla
   Nasha dusha Stvarniko,
Sverha svétov bo sedéla,
   Píla pétje Angelsko.
