"The March of Artillerists" - Oktet of the Alexandrov Red Army Choir (1970)

"The March of Artillerists" is a patriotic song about the Great Patriotic War (WWII). The march is performed by the octet of the Red Banner Alexandrov Ensemble of the Soviet Army. In 1943, the composer Tikhon Khrennikov and the poet Vladimir Gusev wrote this song for the film entitled "At 6 p.m. after the war." At the beginning of the clip you can see the composer himself making the introduction to the song. It was also nice to see young Victor Kadinov and Vasily Shtefutsa in the video...

This is a clip from the TV-Show "Blue Light - The Song of the Victory" dedicated to the 25th anniversary of the Victory Day in the World War II. Central Television of the USSR, 1970.

TRANSLATION OF THE LYRICS:

Love for our native land is burning in our hearts!
We're going to a mortal battle for the honor of our country,
Flaming cities seized with smoke,
The cruel god of war thunders in gray forests.

Refrain:
Artillerists - the exact order is given!
Artillerists, the Fatherland calls for us.
From many thousands of cannons,
For the tears of our mothers,
For our Motherland - fire! Fire!

Find out, dear mother! Find out, my wife and friend!
Find out the distant house and my whole family,
That our steel blizzard hits and burns the enemy,
That we carry our will to our native lands!

Refrain.

The hour of victory will come, the campaign will end
But before we go to our native homes,
In honor of our party, in honor of our people,
We will make a joyful firework at midnight!

Refrain.
