Svež i dušist tvoj roskošnyj venok,
vsech v nëm cvetov blagovonija slyšny,
kudri tvoi tak obil'ny i pyšny, -
svež i dušist tvoj roskošnyj venok.

Svež i dušist tvoj roskošnyj venok,
jasnogo vzora [gubitel'na]1 sila, - 
net, ja ne verju, čtob ty ne ljubila:
svež i dušist tvoj roskošnyj venok

Svež i dušist tvoj roskošnyj venok.
Sčastiju serdce legko predaëtsja:
mne [bliz]2 tebja chorošo i poëtsja.
Svež i dušist tvoj roskošnyj venok.
