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 lyubit on dikogo,
Ni rabstva bezglasnogo, ni leni, pozoryashchey
Narod, bor’by yego stoyashchiy!
Chtoby k schast’yu pryamey nam shla doroga,
Blagoslovi trud naroda, Pomazannik Boga,
Da likuyet mir, da tsarit vvek svoboda!
