| How the prophetic Oleg is now going
 | 
| Shield to nail on the gate,
 | 
| When suddenly a man runs up to him -
 | 
| And well, lisp something.
 | 
| Hey, prince, - says for no reason, -
 | 
| After all, you will accept death from your horse!
 | 
| But he was just about to go to you -
 | 
| Take revenge on the unreasonable Khazars,
 | 
| When suddenly the gray-haired magi came running,
 | 
| In addition, smashing with a fume, -
 | 
| And they say out of nowhere
 | 
| That he will accept death from his horse.
 | 
| Who are you, where did you come from? -
 | 
| The squad took up whips, -
 | 
| Drunk, old man - so go hang out,
 | 
| And there is no time to tell stories
 | 
| And to speak for no reason,
 | 
| That he will accept death from his horse!
 | 
| Well, in general, they did not take off their heads, -
 | 
| You can't joke with princes! -
 | 
| And for a long time the squad trampled the Magi
 | 
| With their bay horses:
 | 
| Look, they say all of a sudden,
 | 
| That he will accept death from his horse!
 | 
| And the prophetic Oleg bent his line,
 | 
| Yes, so that no one peeped, -
 | 
| He only once remembered the Magi,
 | 
| And then he chuckled sarcastically:
 | 
| Well, it’s necessary - to chat for no reason,
 | 
| That he will accept death from his horse!
 | 
| And here he is, my horse - has rested for centuries, -
 | 
| Only one skull remained!
 | 
| Oleg calmly laid his foot -
 | 
| And he died right there on the spot:
 | 
| An evil viper bit him -
 | 
| And he accepted death from his horse.
 | 
| ... Each Magi strives to punish, -
 | 
| And no - listen, right?
 | 
| Oleg would have listened - another shield
 | 
| I would have nailed to the gates of Tsaregrad.
 | 
| The Magi said something from this and that,
 | 
| That he will accept death from his horse! |
