Lyrics
Russian original
Россия — священная наша держава,
Россия — любимая наша страна.
Могучая воля, великая слава —
Твое достоянье на все времена!
Припев:
Славься, Отечество наше свободное,
Братских народов союз вековой,
Предками данная мудрость народная!
Славься, страна! Мы гордимся тобой!
От южных морей до полярного края
Раскинулись наши леса и поля.
Одна ты на свете! Одна ты такая —
Хранимая Богом родная земля!
Припев
Широкий простор для мечты и для жизни.
Грядущие нам открывают года.
Нам силу дает наша верность Отчизне.
Так было, так есть и так будет всегда!
Припев

Be glorious, our free Fatherland!
Eternal union of fraternal peoples,
Common wisdom given by our forebears,

Native land protected by God!

Wide spaces for dreams and for living
Are opened for us by the coming years
Faithfulness to our country gives us strength
Thus it was, so it is and always will be!
