Sviatoj kniaz' German
Sejchas rumian, a ranee kak mel
German byl sloman,
No bozh'im promyslom opiat' tsel
I vsiakaia bozhiia tvar'
Poet emu i raduet vzgliad
Sviatoj German

Kto-to skazal "Welcome"
A on otvetil "The pleasure is mine, please"
German byl svinchen,
Posazhen v bochku i vziat daleko vniz
A veter smeialsia s nebes
I khor iz zaoblachnykh sfer pel:
Akh, sehr German

Sviatoj German prishel k Sviatomu Petru
Seli v storozhku i nachali pit' smes'
Otsiuda priamoj put' v sviattsy,
No vse v poriadke, German opiat' zdes'
Uteshen'e koniam v pal'to
Prichina vsem dikim tsvetam pet':
A nash German byl tam

Sviatoj kniaz' German
Sejchas rumian, a ranee kak mel
Khrom, glukh i sloman,
No bozh'im promyslom opiat' tsel
I vsiakaia bozhiia tvar'
Poet emu i raduet vzgliad
Sviatoj German
