Let the thunder of victory sound!
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.

Cool.

That reminds me, I need to do you up a pictogram.

Hmmm...

Written in 1791, no less. Proving that the Motherland's awesome songs long preadted the Soviet era

Have a very nice day.

Very nice. This deserves better than being in Testing, though.

I think i agree with you

Have a very nice day.

We need a recording of this glorious tribute to loyalty and valor, comrade.
