TRANSLATION OF THE SONG:

We are the Red Cavalry
And about us
Eloquent chroniclers
Lead their story -
How on clear nights
How on rainy days
We proudly and boldly go into battles!

Chorus:
Budyonny, lead us boldly into the battle!
Let the thunder rumble
Let there be fire around, fire all around.
We are all selfless heroes
And our whole life is a struggle!

Budyonny is our brother
All the people are with us.
Order - Do not lower heads
And look ahead!
After all, Voroshilov is with us -
The first Red Officer,
We'll be able to shed blood for the USSR!

Chorus (x2)

RUSSIAN LYRICS:

Мы — Красная кавалерия
И про нас
Былинники речистые
Ведут рассказ —
О том, как в ночи ясные,
О том, как в дни ненастные
Мы гордо и смело в бой идём!

Припев:
Веди, Будённый, нас смелее в бой!
Пусть гром гремит,
Пускай пожар кругом, пожар кругом.
Мы беззаветные герои все,
И вся-то наша жизнь есть борьба.

Будённый — наш братишка,
С нами весь народ.
Приказ — голов не вешать
И глядеть вперёд!
Ведь с нами Ворошилов,
Первый красный офицер,
Сумеем кровь пролить за СССР!

Припев (2 раза)
