Chorus:

Verse 1:
Razovyom mui beryozoo,
Razovyom mui koodryavoo,
Ai da da, ai da,
Ai da da, ai da,
Razovyom mui koodryavoo.

Chorus:

Ai da da, ai da,
Ai da da, ai da,
Pyesnyu solnishkoo poyom.

Chorus:

Verse 3:
Ekh, tui, Volga, matreka,
Shiroka i glooboka,
Ai da da, ai da,
Ai da da, ai da,
Shiroka i glooboka.

Chorus:
