[Kuplet 1]
Mne podarili druz'ya korolevskuyu ptitsu
Redkuyu ptitsu, kotoroy nel'zya ne gordit'sya
Serdtsem yeye polyubil ya, i prinyal, i ponyal
Medom dushistym kormil yeye pryamo s ladoni

[Pripev]
Redkaya ptitsa v dome moyem zhila
Redkaya ptitsa, dva zolotykh kryla

[Instrumental]

[Kuplet 2]
Ya otpustil yeye, chtob ne grustila nochami
Chtoby ne bilas' ob ostryye prut'ya plechami
S pesney umchalas' ona v belosnezhnuyu zamyat'
Lish' zolotoye kolechko ostalos' na pamyat'

[Pripev]
Redkaya ptitsa v dome moyem zhila
Redkaya ptitsa, dva zolotykh kryla

[Instrumental]

[Kuplet 3]
Gde ty teper', i v kakikh ty letayesh' vysotakh?
Redkaya ptitsa, nashla dlya sebya ty kogo-to?
V ruki chuzhiye opyat' ty popala do sroka
Ili svobodna? Tochneye, opyat' odinoka
