Wood-hero Not find more beautiful forests, Find forests lighter! Forest, Green Shield of Russia, Hero of my land! How many times the enemy fired Our Russian forests - Not broken, do not kill Neither fire nor storm! Burns fresh wind Strong hands are yours. Loggers at dawn Songs give nightingales. And no matter where I went, Everywhere I will hear, How do green echo You call to their homes! Not find more beautiful forests, Find forests lighter! Russian forest Russian soul, Bogatyr my land! 1949
