As the Volga River, the broad
Outgoing sharp-nosed boat,
As a boat rowers daring,
Cossacks, young boys.
At the stern sits the master himself,
The owner himself, formidable Stenka Razin
Before him red girl,
Polonennaya Persian Princess.
Without looking at the princess Stenka Razin,
And looking at the mother on the Volga.
As remarked formidable Stenka Razin:
“Oh, you goy esi, Volga, own mother!
With years of silly me, you will sing,
The long night cradled, shook,
The wave weather endured.
For if the young man I was not asleep,
Kazakov my good endowed.
That there was nothing more we gave you”.
How then jumped formidable Stenka Razin
Caught Persian princess,
The waves tossed the red girl,
Mother Volga bowed her.

I went Stenka Razin
In Astrakhan city
trade goods.
He became governor
require gifts.
Brought Stenka Razin
Kamke hruschatye,
Crumbly stones -
gold brocade.
He became governor
require coats.
Shuba expensive:
Floors something new,
one Bobrova,
another sable.
He Stenka Razin
It does not give coats.
“Give, Stenka Razin,
Give a shoulder coat!
you give, so thanks;
I do not give - hang
That in the open field,
On a green oak
Yes dog coat”.
It became Stenka Razin
Think Duma:
“good, governor.
Take a fur coat.
Take a fur coat,
Yes, there was no noise b”.

What is not a top horse, not human Rumor,
Not blower tube from the field heard,
A whistling pogodushka, buzzing,
whistling, buzzing, is filled.
beckoning me, Stenka Razin,
Take a walk on the sea, the blue:
“dashing fellow, You robber dashing,
You robber dashing, You riotous brawler
You sit on your boat ambulances,
Let down the sail canvas,
Shoots on the sea of blue.
I will drive you three boat:
On the first ship red gold,
On the second ship pure silver,
The third ship, the soul-girl”.
