National anthem of Russia - English translation

National anthem of Russia - Государственный гимн России - English translation

Music by Alexander Alexandrov
Lyrics by Sergei Mikhalkov

Our Russia is our great and sacred power,
Our Russia is our beloved country.
Thy greatest glory and thy mighty willpower  [OR: Thy glory midst nations, thy mighty willpower]
For ages to come are thy great legacy!

Refrain:
Glory, our Fatherland, -  the state of liberty,
Brother peoples' centuries-old unity,
Bequeathed by our ancestors folk wisdom and sagacity!
Glory, our land! We are proud of thee!


From the warm southern seas to the cold Polar ocean
Lie our vast forests, great rivers, and fields.
You're the only such land, land of our devotion,
Our dear country that Lord God keeps and shields!

Refrain.

Wide prospects and vistas for living and dreaming
Forthcoming years promise and open for us.
We draw our strength from our faithful allegiance
To our land - 't's been and shall always be thus!

Refrain.
