The Great Patriotic War 1941 – 1945

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

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

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

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
