Glory, Glory to you, holy Rus’! - Russian Patriotic Song

Special thanks for neueslied for the lyrics “Glory, Glory to you, holy Rus’!“, (Russian: Славься, славься, святая Русь!, romanized: Slavsya, slavsya, svyataya Rus’!), also known as “Slavsya“ (Славься) is the name of the final song in the epilogue of Mikhail Glinka’s first opera A Life for the Tsar (1836) and now considered as one of Russia’s greatest classical and patriotic anthems of the 19th century. While the modern version is the more commonly known version sung today, there have been also performances in which the original Imperial lyrics have been sung.
