Ya idu po strane starorusskim marshrutom
Bezoblachnym utrom, okutannyy pervoy zarey.
Vse pesni moi, vse druz'ya budut ryadom,
Kak budto i sam ya, kak budto eshche molodoy-ozornoy.
Chorus:
A zarya, zarya, zarya,
Delo bozhie tvorya
Zolotit lesa i pashni
Svetom yasnym yantarya.
A zarya, zarya, zarya
Vse zh staraetsya ne zrya,
Okrylyaya sud'by nashi,
Dushi, proshche govorya,
Dushi, proshche govorya.
A ya veryu, chto vse eshche
Tol'ko v nachale,
Edba zazvuchali na yarmarku ekh, bubentsy
Vsya dal' vperedi, a ee ne proyti bez pechali
No skol' ne zhivesh' ty, a dlya zhizni my - vse zhe yuntsy.
