Lyrics not yet matched with music, as the only published scores and recordings contain censored Soviet versions of the text.
Na russkom prestole potomok velikogo,
V Rusi proizvola ne li͡ubit on dikogo,
Ni rabstva bezglasnogo, ni leni, pozori͡ashcheĭ
Narod, borʹby ego stoi͡ashchiĭ!
Chtoby k schastʹi͡u pri͡ameĭ nam shla doroga,
Blagoslovi trud naroda, Pomazannik Boga,
Da likuet mir, da t͡sarit vvek svoboda!
