Poor Perun, I have compassion
For your sorry, wretched lot—
There awaits you on the morrow
An extremely fiendish plot!

O Perun, unlucky creature,
Without favor, dread or fear,
You have dared to show your hatred
’Gainst your lord, Tsar Vladimir!

Oh, why did you not consider
Poor, unfortunate Perun?
Flee, oh, flee—else if they get you
Your career will end too soon!
