Leningrad a drinking Rarely friends, we have to meet But since when had a chance, remember what was and have a drink as the hobnob, As has become a tradition in Russia! remember what was and have a drink as the hobnob, As has become a tradition in Russia! Let Leningrad military family with us sitting at the table, Recall as a Russian soldier's strength Germans for Tikhvin drove! They will be forever glorified for centuries under machine gun howl! Our bayonets on Siniavino heights our shelves beneath Mgoy! Let us remember those who we commanded rotami who died in the snow, Who Leningrad waded swamps, throat squeezing the enemy! Let us remember we are those week long, merznul in damp dugouts, Fought on Ladoga, fought on the Volkhov, not retreat a single step! We have a drink and we Cheknev circles standing fighting between friends! Let's drink to the courage of the fallen heroes, drink to the meeting live! Rarely friends, we have to meet But since when had a chance, remember what was and have a drink as the hobnob, As has become a tradition in Russia! remember what was and have a drink as the hobnob, As has become a tradition in Russia!
