`Eti bednyje selen'ja

`Eti bednyje selen'ja,
`Eta skudnaja priroda..
Kraj rodnoj dolgoterpen'ja,
Kraj ty russkogo naroda.

Ne pojmjot i ne zametit
Gordyj vzor inoplemennyj,
Chto skvozit i tajno svetit
V nagote tvojej smirennoj.

Udruchennyj noshej krestnoj,
Vsju tebja, zemlja rodnaja,
V rabskom vide car' nebesnyj
Iskhodil, blagoslovljaja,
V rabskom vide car' nebesnyj,
Car' nebesnyj, iskhodil nebesnyj car'.
