Russians

Again, as in ancient times,
They want to enslave us,
Can’t the past
Teach us?
Glorious ancestors
Will guard the land,
Guests whimsical—
That’s what I want to say.

Intro

Who comes to Russia with a sword, ;
By that sword will fall, ;
No kinder people will you find, ;
But we’ll close our Motherland with a wall. ;

Chorus

In the hour of stern truth, ;
We will stand as a wall, ;
We won’t let pass by, ;
Enemy, go home. ;
Again, as in ancient times,
They want to enslave us,
Can’t the past
Teach us?

Repeat Chorus

Who comes to Russia with a sword, ;
By that sword will fall, ;
No kinder people will you find, ;
But we’ll close our Motherland with a wall. ;

Interlude

Armies marched
Across my land,
Then fled away,
Hiding in the dark!
Glorious ancestors
Will guard the land,
Guests whimsical—
That’s what I want to say.

Repeat Chorus

Who comes to Russia with a sword, ;
By that sword will fall! ;
No kinder people will you find, ;
But we’ll close our Motherland with a wall! ;
