TRANSLATION OF THE LYRICS: In the coastal vines, On the high steep slopes - There we loved and grew up. Oh, Dnieper, Dnieper, You are broad and powerful, The cranes are flying over you. You saw the battle, Dnieper-Father river - We went on the attack under the mountain. Those who died for the Dnieper, Will live for centures, Because they fought like heroes! The enemy attacked us, So we left the Dnieper. The mortal combat thundered like a storm. Oh, Dnieper, Dnieper, You are flowing far away, And your wave is like a tear. The enemy’s drinking water From your rapids, And he’ll choke with that water. The glorious day has come, - We are going forward. And we’ll see you, Dnieper, soon again! Let the blood of the fascists hounds Flow like a river, The enemy will not take the Soviet land! Like the spring Dnieper, All the enemies will be swept away By our Army and our people! ORIGINAL LYRICS: У прибрежных лоз, у высоких круч И любили мы и росли. Ой, Днипро, Днипро, ты широк, могуч, Над тобой летят журавли. Ты увидел бой, Днепр-отец река, Мы в атаку шли под горой. Кто погиб за Днепр, будет жить века, Коль сражался он как герой. Враг напал на нас, мы с Днепра ушли. Смертный бой гремел, как гроза. Ой, Днипро, Днипро, ты течёшь вдали, И волна твоя как слеза. Из твоих стремнин ворог воду пьёт, Захлебнётся он той водой. Славный день настал, мы идём вперёд И увидимся вновь с тобой. Кровь фашистских псов пусть рекой течёт, Враг советский край не возьмёт. Как весенний Днепр, всех врагов сметёт Наша армия, наш народ! #LeonidKharitonov #RedArmyChoir #AlexandrovEnsemble #patrioticsongs #Ukraine -~-~~-~~~-~~-~- Please watch: ““Here’s the Postal Troika Rushing“ - Leonid Kharitonov (1987)“ -~-~~-~~~-~~-~-
