Version by Patrick McDougall (paddycake@hotmail.com), Canada, March 2005:
There wells from within us an anthem of praise
For the annals of courage our his’try displays.
We vanquished invaders and found, in their wake,
A renewal of faith in the path we must take.
REFRAIN:
Come, share a common destiny!
Take strength from our diversity
Forging a future for those yet to be.
Come, share a common destiny!
Take strength from our diversity
Forging a future for those yet to be.
This nation we cherish took root, we are told,
In the victories won by the brave and the bold.
Now, yearning for peace and a place in the sun,
Let us turn with a will to what’s still to be done.
REFRAIN
For centuries in our hearts has stood a mighty faith:
Rassiya — sacred state, for ever for days.
There shines up a glory, there shines up a country.
So happ’ly and proudly, we’re honoured to say:
REFRAIN:
Be proud, my Motherland, beloved and brave homeland!
Union of peoples in long-lasting love.
Oh, long live our homeland,
Long live our father’s mighty hands.
Great sky of Freedom, our glory above!
From forests to vast fields, we all belong to you.
Southern seas, northern lands, we all share the view:
“For us, you’re the only!”, forever do we say:
“Rassiya — holy state”, our love is for thee!
REFRAIN
We set up the history and build up our own life,
For our hopes and our dreams are open to thee!
In faith of the Homeland, we will find the best way,
For it was, and it is, and will be always!
REFRAIN
Russia — our great union of many cultures,
Russia — our beloved federation!
Long live the diversity of our nation,
Long live the unity of our peoples!
REFRAIN:
Be glorious, our great motherland! March on toward destiny!
Great Federation of nationalities!
Triumph in our strength, the strength of diversity,
Glorious Russia — long live our homeland!
For centuries our nation has been in peril,
The dark storms thundered over the Great Kremlin.
But through the fires came a great unity,
A union that shall endure for all time!
REFRAIN
The dark shadow of despotism is banished,
The sunrays of freedom shine throughout our land!
Our nation was created by the people,
United and mighty, our great motherland!
REFRAIN
