My beloved, dear capital city!

From a tiny spring,

a cold river did flow...

Just so sprang up our Moscow!

-- Of stone as white as snow!

Moscow was built by a

glorious Russian prince,

A Russian Prince,

The son of Tsar Vladimir Monomakiw!

And this prince was called Yury,

Prince Yury Dolgoruky!

Where once beasts

roamed in forests leafy,

And hermits' songs sometimes were heard,

Magnificent, and unperturbed,

The Kremlin rose up, turrets gleaming!

The great Ivan III,

Tsar of all the Russias,

grandson of Dmitry Donskoy,

built the great Russian national state,

TSAR IVAN III,

TSAR OF ALL THE RUSSIAS

and freed our people

from hundreds of years

of the Tartar's yoke!

240 years of the Tartar's yoke are over!

Here's a loaf of Russian bread for you!

The prince built these

mighty and majestic walls and towers

of the Kremlin!

Years passed,

Ivan the Terrible and

Boris Godunov's reigns

passed into history.

The Russian land was

usurped and pillaged

by foreign interlopers.

In Moscow

the Polish knights usurped our people.

But citizen Minin and Prince Pozharsky

rose up and cried out,

“Our cause is just! Fight to the death!"

And the people rose up

and formed a people's army,

to free the Russian land,

to free Moscow!

"We won't put down our swords

till not a single thief and invader

is left on our Russian land!"

TO CITIZEN MININ AND PRINCE POZHARSKY

A GRATEFUL RUSSIA, 1818

200 years passed.

The year was 1812.

The Grand Army of Napoleon

swept through our land

approaching Moscow

desecrating our Russian soil.

THE LOSS OF MOSCOW DOES

NOT MEAN THE LOSS OF RUSSIA.

AS LONG AS OUR ARMY IS PRESERVED.

IN GIVING UP ON OUR CAPITAL

WE ONLY PREPARE DOOM FOR THE ENEMY!

FIELD MARSHAL M.I. KUTUZOV

BLAZE UP GREAT MOSCOW,

AND BLESSED BE MOSCOW,

RUSSIA!

FIELD MARSHAL MIKHAIL KUTUZOV

The endless course of history

once again made Moscow its centerpiece.

Moscow was ablaze again,

but this time with the flame

of the 1905 Revolution!

DOWN WITH TSARISM!

LONG LIVE THE COMMUNIST REVOLUTION!

Bathing in the blood of the workers

slaughtered in 1905,

the last Tsar claimed to promote

peace and domestic tranquility.

But the struggle of the working class

did not cease.

ALL POWER TO THE SOVIETS! - LENIN

In 1917, the Party of Lenin and Stalin

gave the people the

gift of the Great October

Socialist Revolution!

We march and we sing, through

our boulevards, avenues, parks...

We march and we sing,

And we feel Moscow's

smile in our hearts!

Moscow, great Moscow!

Our whole land sings of you now!

You are ever-young...

My beloved, my dear Moscow!

We march and we sing, through

our boulevards, avenues, parks...

We march and we sing,

And we feel Moscow's

smile in our hearts!

Moscow, great Moscow!

Our whole land sings of you now!

You are ever-young...

My beloved, my dear Moscow!

The year was 1941.

The German hordes were

tearing toward Moscow.

- Arise, enormous Motherland!

Arise, for deadly w*r!

- And all our country held its breath,

- The Fascist darkness we'll withstand!

- hearing our great Comrade Stalin.

Defeat their cursed horde!

May you be inspired in this w*r

May noble rage stir in our hearts!

- Like waves, boiling with rage!

- by the brave images of

our great ancestors!

- This people's w*r's for all of us...

- Alexander Nevsky!

- A holy w*r we wage!

- Dmitry Donskoy!

Kuzma Minin!

- May noble rage stir in our hearts!

- Dmitry Pozharsky!

- Like waves, boiling with rage!

- Alexander Suvorov!

- May noble rage stir in our hearts!

- Mikhail Kutuzov!

- This people's w*r's for all of us...

- And may your deeds be inspired...

- A holy w*r we wage!

- by the victorious banner

of our great Lenin!

We'll drive them out, these murders!

Of all ideals of light.

The struggle goes on!

These K*llers, rapists, burglars,

these torturers, Man's blight!

Hey, you Germans, defeated,

heaped up in gutters by the road!

Your names forgot, as you forgot

Just how to sing, "Moscow is mine!"

No, you must take it first! - Just try!

But Moscow is a stubborn place.

Invincible, our mighty city stands

on the Moscow river's banks.

It stands! Rejoices!

It lives!

As it always lives!

USSR

VICTORY

- USSR VICTORY

- You are our youth!

Our glory!

And the City of Lenin salutes you!

And from all,

all, all of our endless,

free Soviet land...

From every place to you,

our dear mother,

our Moscow,

our birthday girl,

We send our love and admiration!

Still standing! Still partying!

My own, my very same Moscow!

Glory to the great Russian city!

Great city! Great fiery heart

of the great Soviet people!

Glory to the great military

leader of the Russian land!

Glory to Stalin!

My beloved dear capital city,

My golden, my dear Moscow!

800TH ANNIVERSARY

OF MOSCOW

My golden, my dear Moscow!
