My šli molčalivoj tolpoju. Proščajte, rodnye mesta! I beženskoj našej slezoju Doroga byla zalita. My šli… V uzelki zavjazali Po gorstke rodimoj zemli, I vsju b ee, kažetsja, vzjali, No vsju ee vzjat' ne mogli. I v gorestnyj čas rasstavan'ja, Sredi obožžennych polej, Surovo svoi zaklinan'ja Šeptali staruchi nad nej: «Za krov', za razboj, za požary, Za dolgie noči bez sna Pust' samoju ljutoju karoj Vragov pokaraet ona! Pust' v ognennyj dožd' prevratitsja Gorjučaja naša sleza, Pust' veter železnogo mščen'ja Nasil'nika v bezdnu smetet! Pust' iščet nasil'nik spasen'ja, I pust' on ego ne najdet!» My verili - sud soveršitsja. I legče nam bylo idti.
