We know what is thrown into the scale
And what, as of now, the stake is.
The hour of courage is ringing the bell,
And courage is not to forsake us.
By fear of bullets we shall not be stunned,
Nor rooflessness shall make us bow,
But we will defend you, the great Russian tongue,
Our power to breathe and to grow.
Together we'll bear you clear and free,
And save from the chains, and to heirs grant thee
Forever!
