MOSCOW!
How many things are merged
FOR THE DEFENSE OF MOSCOW for Russian hearts in that word's sound!
How much in us it makes resound! (Pushkin)
In all towns and villages earthly,
About you not enough can be told
My beloved, dear capital city!
My Dear Capital,
My golden Moscow!

From a tiny spring, a cold river did flow...
Just so sprang up our Moscow! -- Of stone as white as snow!
Moscow was built by a glorious Russian prince,
A Russian Prince,
The son of Tsar Vladimir Monomakh!
And this prince was called Yury,
Prince Yury Dolgoruky (the Long-Armed)!
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 Dmitry Donskoy,
built the great Russian national state,
TSAR IVAN III, TSAR OF ALL THE RUSSIAS and freed our people
from hundreds of years of the Tartar's yoke!
240 years of the Tartar's yoke are over!
Here's 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
the Polish knights usurped our people.
But citizen Minin and Prince Pozharsky
rose up and cried out:
"Our cause is right and 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 won't put down the sword
till not a single thief and invader
is left on our land!"
TO CITIZEN MININ AND PRINCE POZHARSKY A GRATEFUL RUSSIA, SUMMER 1818
200 years passed.
The year was 1812.
The Grande Armée of Napoleon
was 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 ON OUR CAPITAL WE ONLY PREPARE DOOM FOR THE ENEMY!
FIELD MARSHAL M.I. KUTUZOV
BLAZE UP GREAT MOSCOW, AND BLESS MOSCOW, OH 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!
Having drowned the 1905 Revolution in blood,
the last Tsar claimed to promote peace and domestic tranquility.
But the struggle of the working class did not cease.
ALL POWER TO THE SOVIETS! - LENIN In 1917, the Party of Lenin and Stalin
led the people into 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'll withstand! - hearing our great Comrade Stalin.
- Defeat their cursed horde! - May you be inspired in this war
- May noble rage stir in our hearts, Like waves, boiling with rage! - by the brave images of our great ancestors!
- This people's war's for all of us... - Alexander Nevsky! Dmitry Donskoy!
- A holy war we wage! Kuzma Minin!
- May noble rage stir in our hearts, - Dmitry Pozharsky!
- May noble rage stir in our hearts, - Alexander Suvorov!
- Like waves, boiling with rage! - Mikhail Kutuzov!
- This people's war's for all of us... - And may your deeds be inspired...
- A holy war we wage! - by the victorious banner of our great Lenin!
We'll drive them out, these murderers
Of all ideals of light.
The struggle goes on!
These killers, rapists, burglars, these torturers, Man's blight!
Hey, you Germans, defeated,
heaped up in gutters by the road!
Did you forget how to yell "Moscow's mine"?
Did you forget how to sing "Mine Is Moscow"?
No, you must take it first! - Just try!
But Moscow is a stubborn place.
Invincible to clever plans, upon the Moscow river's banks
It stands!
It thrives!
The very same!
USSR VICTORY
- You are our youth!
Our glory!
And the City of Lenin salutes you!
And from all,
all, all of our boundless Soviet land...
To you, our dear mother,
our Moscow,
our birthday girl,
We send our love and admiration!
Still standing! Still thriving!
My own, my very same Moscow!
Glory to the great Russian city!
Great fiery heart of the mighty Soviet people!
Glory to the great military leader of the Russian land!
Glory to Stalin!
My beloved dear capital city,
My golden, my dear Moscow!
800TH ANNIVERSARY OF MOSCOW My golden, my dear Moscow!
