| Емеля (original) | Емеля (translation) |
|---|---|
| Лесною стороною | forest side |
| Под ясной звездою | Under a clear star |
| Тропою оленя | Deer path |
| Гуляет Емеля. | Emelya is walking. |
| И все ему рады — | And everyone is happy for him - |
| Звери, птицы и гады, | Animals, birds and reptiles, |
| Деревья и травы, | Trees and grasses |
| Поля и дубравы. | Fields and oak forests. |
| Покуда есть силы, | As long as there is strength |
| Покуда есть духу, | As long as there is spirit |
| Не порваны жилы, | The veins are not torn, |
| Не вспорото брюхо. | Not ripped open. |
| Покуда есть мочи, | As long as there is urine |
| Покуда есть семя, | As long as there is a seed |
| Орет и хохочет, | Yelling and laughing, |
| Гуляет Емеля. | Emelya is walking. |
| И славит свободу | And glorifies freedom |
| Сквозь дыбы изгибы | Through the rearing bends |
| На радость народу, | For the joy of the people, |
| Себе на погибель. | To your own death. |
