Fatherland of mine so wide and spacious Filled with mountains, plains and river fair I know not of any other country Where man's freedom can with ours compare.
Everywhere our life is wide and joyous Like the Volga flowing in the spring To the young the road in life lies open To the old great happiness we bring.
