Священная война [Svyashchennaya voyna] [English translation]

Get up, the giant country

Get up, for mortal fight

With the dark fascist force

With the damned horde

chorus

Let noble fury

Boil up in a wave

There is a people’s war

There is a holy war

Like two opposed poles

We are enemies about everything

We fight for light and peace

Whereas they fight for darkness

Chorus

We shall stand fast against the oppressors

With all our ardent ideas

Against the rapers, the robbers

The torturers of the people

Chorus

We will not let the darkened wings

Fly over Motherland

The enemy dare not trample

Her spacious fields

Chorus

The rotten putrid fascist vermin

We will put a bullet in their forehead

To the dregs of the planet Earth

We will hammer out a mighty coffin

Chorus

Let us fight with all our might

With all our heart, all our mind

For our sweet land

For our great Union

Chorus

Get up, the giant country

Get up, for mortal fight

With the dark fascist force

With the damned horde
