Be merry, o brave Russian!
Adorn yourself in well-earned glory!
You have shaken Muhammad!
Glory be to Catherine!
Glory be to our tender mother!
The fast waters of the Danube!
Are forever in our hands
Respecting the bravery of the Russians
Tauria and Caucasus belong to us!
Glory be to Catherine!
Glory be to our tender mother!
No longer can the Crimean hordes
Ruin our peaceful rest
The pride of Selim is gone
And he has turned pale like the moon
Glory be to Catherine!
Glory be to our tender mother!
The moans of Sinai [Izmail] are emitted
And heard everywhere beneath the Sun
Envy and emnity are raging
Torturing it from within
Glory be to Catherine!
Glory be to our tender mother!
We are joyful: it is glorious
That the enemies can see
That we'll soon stretch forth our hands
To every corner of the universe!
Glory be to Catherine!
Glory be to our tender mother!
See, o wise tsarina!
See, o great wife!
That Your glance
And Your hand
Is our law, our common soul
See the glittering cathedrals
And these magnificent ranks
All the hearts and eyes of all
Are enlivened by You alone!
Glory be to Catherine!
Glory be to our tender mother!
Glory be to Catherine!
Glory be to our tender mother!
Glory be to Catherine!
Glory be to our tender mother!
Translated by me.
Have a very nice day.
