TRANSLATION OF THE SONG:

Wide and green,
With plains and slopes,
My spring country blooms.

From white to black,
Full as a sea,
It's waving and foaming.

From white to black,
Full as a sea,
It's waving and foaming.

The fields sing with machines,
The forests are rustling with peaks,
And the Volga splashes in a golden dawn.

And the songs, Russian songs,
Sometimes riotous, sometimes sad -
Our whole life and all our heart are in them!

And the songs, Russian songs,
Sometimes riotous, sometimes sad -
Our whole life and all our heart are in them!

The family of nations is friendly,
The banner of Lenin shines like a sun
Over the free country!

Him, the Great Leader,
Who forged people's happiness,
Our people praise and thank!

Him, the Great Leader,
Who forged people's happiness,
Our people praise and thank!

RUSSIAN LYRICS:

Раздольная, зелёная,
С равнинами и склонами,
Цветёт моя весенняя страна.

От белого до черного,
Сама, как море полное,
Волнуется и пенится она. (2 раза)

Поля поют машинами,
Леса шумят вершинами,
И Волга плещет в зорях золотых.

И песни, песни русские,
То буйные, то грустные -
Вся наша жизнь, всё сердце наше в них! (2 раза)

Дружна семья народная,
И над страной свободною
Как солнце знамя Ленина горит.

Его, Вождя великого,
Кто счастье людям выковал,
Народ наш славит и благодарит. (2 раза)
