Red Army Choir - Den Pobedy (Victory Day)

Victory Day, oh how far from us it was, Like a dwindling ember in a faded fire. There were miles ahead, burned and dusty We hastened this day as best we could. Chorus: This Victory Day Air saturated with gunpowder, It’s a holiday With temples already gray, It’s joy With tears upon our eyes Victory Day! Victory Day! Victory Day! Days and nights at blast furnaces, Our Motherland didn’t sleep a wink. Days and nights a hard battle we fought— We hastened this day as best we could. Chorus Hello, Mother, not all of us came back... How I’d like to run barefoot through the dew! Half of Europe, we have stridden half the Earth, We hastened this day as best we could!
