Ростов-город, Ростов-Дон [Rostov-gorod, Rostov-Don] [English translation]

We lived in this city,

We loved in this city,

We went for a walk for this city.

As we walked with conversations,

With a busting guitar,

We liked to croon to our girlfriends.

Chorus:

Rostov City, Rostov-Don1!

On a blue starry sky,

On Sadovaya street2,

On a maple bench

Rostov City, Rostov-Don!

A harsh war has come,

Lit up our crimson lights,

We took a sip of leaden rain.

We're leaving our city,

Our beloved, bright city,

We carried away with our hearts, we're leaving...

Chorus

Yet here we're back again.

Crushing the enemy with horseshoes,

Sweeping away helmets with their head.

Our city is a new glory,

Our city is a harsh life,

We'll go along a familiar roads again.
