I know of no other such country, where a man so freely lives and breathes. For from Moscow to our farthest border, from the mountains to the open sea lies our land for all men free to wander wide and native to all who come to see. In this land you live fully and freely like the river Volga's mighty flow. Our youth we value oh so dearly, to our elders respect we always show. Our fields leave all onlookers glad Our cities - an unforgettable sight, Our proudest title here is Comrade, there’s no other word of such delight.
