歌词:
Poka zemlâ eŝe vertitsâ, (As long, as the earth keeps turning,)
Poka eŝe ârok svet, (As long, as the sun is above,)
Gospodi, daj že ty každomu, (Almighty, please give to all of us)
Čego u nego net: (The things that we do not have:)
Mudromu daj golovu, (Grant a mind to the wise man,)
Truslivomu daj konâ, (The coward, grant him a horse,)
Daj sčastlivomu deneg... (The happy man, let him have money,)
I ne zabud´ pro menâ. (...And don't forget your's truly.)
Poka zemlâ eŝe vertitsâ, — (As long as the earth keeps turning,)
Gospodi, tvoâ vlast´! — (Almighty, as is your wont,)
Daj rvuŝemusâ k vlasti (Grant to the one striving for power)
Navlastvovat´sâ vslast´, (Rule as much as he wants.)
Daj peredyšku ŝedromu, (Grant a break to the generous)
Hot´ do ishoda dnâ, (At least till the start of dusk.)
Kainu daj raskaânie... (Grant repentance to Cain)
I ne zabud´ pro menâ. (...And don't forget 'your's truly.)
 znaû: ty vse umeeš´, (I know that you have the Power)
 veruû v mudrost´ tvoû, (I've faith in your wisdom,)
Kak verit soldat ubityj, (Believing,as does a dead soldier,)
Čto on proživaet v raû, (That right in Heaven He dwells.)
Kak verit každoe uho (As truly,every being believes:)
Tihim rečam tvoim, (That all that you say is true,)
Kak veruem i my sami, (As we go on believing,)
Ne vedaâ, čto tvorim! (Not knowing what we do.)
Gospodi moj Bože, (O Lord of my life, Almighty,)
Zelenoglazyj moj! (Blond tresses and green of eye,)
Poka zemlâ eŝe vertitsâ, (As long as the earth keeps turning)
I èto ej stranno samoj, (Although it still wonders, "why?”)
Poka ej eŝe hvataet (As long as it still has some time left)
Vremeni i ognâ, (and fire to keep its course,)
Daj že ty vsem po nemnogu... (Grant something to everybody ）
I ne zabud´ pro menâ. （...And don't forget "your's truly".）
