From a tiny spring, a cold river did flow...
Just so sprang up our Moscow! - Of stone as white as snow!
Moscow was build by a glorious Russian prince
A Russian prince, the son of tsar Vladimir Monomakh!
And this prince was called Yuri, Prince Yuri Dolgoruky
Where once beasts roamed in forests leafy,
and hermits' songs sometimes were heard
magnificent and unperturbed, the Kremlin rose up, turrets gleaming!
The great Ivan III, tsar of all the Russias, grandson of Dmitri Donskoy,
built the great Russian national state,
("Tsar Ivan III, Tsar of all russias") and freed our people from...
hundreds of years of the Tatar's yoke!
240 years of the Tatar's yoke are over! Here is a loaf of Russian bread for you!
The prince built these mighty and majestic walls and towers of the Kremlin!
Years passed,
Ivan the Terrible and Boris Godunov's reigns Passed into history.
The Russian land was usurped and pillaged by foreign interlopers.
In Moscow, Polish knights usurped our people.
But citizen Minin and prince Pozharsky rose up and cried out:
"Our cause is just! Fight to the death!"
And the people rose up and formed a people's army to free the russian land,
to free Moscow.
"We wont put down our swords, till not a single thief and invader is left on our Russian land!"
To citizen Minin and Prince Pozharsky A Grateful Russia, 1818
200 years passed The year was 1812
The grand army of Napoleon swept through our lands, approaching Moscow
desecrating our Russian soil.
The loss of moscow does not mean the loss of russia.
As long as our army is preserved. In giving up our capital we only prepare doom for the enemy! - Field Marshall M.I. Kutuzov
Blaze up Great Moscow, and blessed be Moscow, Russia
Field Marshal Mikhail Kutuzov
The endless course of history once again made Moscow its centerpiece.
Moscow was ablaze again, but this time with the flame of the 1905 revolution!
Down with tsarism! Long live the communist revolution!
Bathing in the blood of the workers slaughtered in 1905
the last Tsar claimed to promote peace and domestic tranquility
But the struggle of the working class did not cease.
("All power the the Soviets! - Lenin") In 1917, the party of Lenin and Stalin
gave the people the gift of the great October socialist revolution.
"We march and we sing through our boulevards, avenues, parks..."
"We march and we sing and we feel Moscow's smile in our hearts"
"Moscow, great Moscow! Our whole land sings of you now!"
"You are ever-young My beloved, my dear Moscow."
"We march and we sing through our boulevards, avenues, parks..."
"We march and we sing and we feel Moscow's smile in our hearts"
"Moscow, great Moscow! Our whole land sings of you now!"
"You are ever-young My beloved, my dear Moscow."
The year was 1941
The German hordes were tearing toward Moscow.
("Arise, enormous motherland! Arise for deadly war!") And all our country held its breath,
("The fascist darkness we will withstand!") Hearing our great comrad stalin.
("Defeat their cursed horde!") may you be inspired in this war
("May noble rage stir in our hearts!') by the brave images of our great ancestors!
("Like waves, boiling with rage!") Alexander Nevsky!
("this people's war's for all of us...") Dmitry Donskoy!
("A holy war we wage!") Kuzma Minin!
("May noble rage stir in out hearts!") Dmitry Pozharsky!
("Like waves, boiling with rage!") Alexander Suvorov!
Michael Kutuzov
And may your deeds be inspired by the victorious banner of our great lenin!
("We drive them out, these murderers!")
("Of all ideals of light!") The struggle goed on!
("These killers, rapists, burglars, these torturers, Man's blight!")
Hey, you germans, sleep, heaped up in gutters by the road!
Your names forgotten, as you forgot just how to sing: "Moscow is mine".
No, you must take it first! - Just try! But Moscow is a stubborn place!
Invincible, our mighty city stands on the moscow river's banks
It stands! Rejoice! It lives! As it always lives. ("USSR Victory")
You are our youth! Our glory!
And the city of Lenin salutes you!
And from all, all of our endless, free Soviet land...
from every place to you, our dear mother, our Moscow
our birthday girl, we send our love and admiration!
Still standing! Still partying! My own, my very same Moscow!
Glory to the great Russian city! Great city! Great fiery heart of the great soviet People!
("My beloved dear capital city My golden, my dear Moscow!')
