| WITH SLAVA'S BANNER FORWARDS |
With Slava's banner forwards! To shed heroic blood, For native country's welfare, Let rifle's voice resound!
With over weapousin our hands We'll thunder at he foe; And in blood will claim the rights Which home and hearth demand.
Mother dear was me entreating, Arms around my neck was winding, While my maiden near was sobbing; My belowed stay thou here!
Farewell, mother, farewell, maiden! Now my nation is my mother, Honour, glory-my betrohed; Fly then, let us, fly to arms! |
