Священная Война [Svyashennaya Voina] [English translation]

Arise, great nation!

Arise for deadly battle

With the dark fascist force,

With the accursed horde!

Let noble rage

Boil like a wave -

The (nation's) war goes on,

The sacred war!

***

Like two opposing poles,

We are hostile to each other:

We fight for light and peace,

They for a kingdom of darkness

***

We will rebuff the oppressors

Of all righteous ideas,

(And) the rapists, robbers,

and torturers of people!

The black wings will not dare

To soar above our motherland,

Her vast fields

The enemy will not dare trample!

Into the brow of the rotten fascist filth

We will drive a bullet,

For this scum of humanity,

We will make a sturdy coffin!
