Song of the Volga


Like a cloud, sad and long
Over the country passed century,
And tears katilasya Volga -
Our vast river.
Do not give up chains and deceptions
Blue Road countries -
Not for nothing Stepan with Yemelyan
Down the Volga drove canoes.

Chorus:

Beautiful folk,
Like the sea, deep,
As Fatherland, free,
wide,
deep,
Strong!

Many songs were ringing over the Volga,
Yes, the melody of songs was in the wrong:
First, our longing songs sung,
Now our joy is singing.
We tore the gray clouds,
Over the land spring blossomed,
And, as the Volga river mighty
Our free life flowed!

Chorus.

Many songs are sung about the Volga,
But has not yet laid down such
So that the sun warmed the Soviet,
Rang over the Volga River.
Gryanem song and loudly and boldly,
To our strength had lived in it,
So that flew to the sun,
That reached to the heart!

Chorus.

Our happiness as May, the young,
Our strength is impossible to crush,
By a happy Soviet star
Well and to work and live.
Let the enemies, like hungry wolves,
We leave traces of borders -
Can not see them Volga beauty
And they do not drink water from the Volga! 1938
