The Day of Victory

Translated and arranged by Boris Anisimov.

The Day of Victory, like an ember in the fire,

Seemed so distant, but remained our hearts' desire.

Miles behind us, scorched and battered there we stood,

Bringing victory as closer as we could.

That's our Day of Victory

Ringing through the skies!

Proud and joyful,

We have bought it for a price!

There is gladness,

But with sadness in our eyes.

The Day of Victory!

The Day of Victory!

The Day of Victory!

Plants and factories kept on working day and night.

On the home front we've put up a valiant fight

Without respite toiling for the common good

Bringing victory as closer as we could!

That's our Day of Victory

Ringing through the skies!

Proud and joyful,

We have bought it for a price!

There is gladness,

But with sadness in our eyes.

The Day of Victory!

The Day of Victory!

The Day of Victory!

Come now, mother. I have made it back to you.

I feel like running barefoot in the morning dew.

Miles behind us, we've lost many souls for good

Bringing victory as closer as we could!

That's our Day of Victory

Ringing through the skies!

Proud and joyful,

We have bought it for a price!

There is gladness,

But with sadness in our eyes.

The Day of Victory!

The Day of Victory!

The Day of Victory!
