On smert' našël v kraju čužom, v kraju čužom, v boju s vragom, no vrag druz'jami pobežden, druz'ja likujut, Tol'ko on na pole bitvy pozabyt, odin ležit. I meždu tem kak žadnyj vran p'ët krov' ego iz svežich ran i točit nezakrytyj glaz, grozivšij smert'ju v smerti čas, i nasladivšis', p'jan i syt, doloj letit... Dalëko tam, v kraju rodnom, mat' kormit syna pod oknom: ,,Agu... agu! ne plač', synok, vernëtsja tjatja! pirožëk togda na radostjach družku ja ispeku...`` A tot zabyt, odin ležit.
