The Red Army Choir
National Anthem of the Soviet Union (1944 Version)
Unbreakable Union of freeborn Republics
Great Russia has welded forever to stand!
Created in struggle by will of the Peoples,
United and mighty our Soviet Land!

[CHORUS]
Sing to our Motherland, free and undying,
Bulwark of Peoples in brotherhood strong!
Flag of the Soviets, flag of the people,
From victory to victory lead us on!

Through tempests the shadows of freedom have cheered us,
Along the new path where great Lenin did lead,
Be true to the people, thus Stalin has reared us,
Inspired us to labor and valorous deed.

[CHORUS]

Our army grew up in the heat of grim battle,
Barbarian invaders we'll swiftly strike down.
In combat the fate of the future we'll settle,
Our country we'll lead to eternal renown!

[CHORUS]
