>>512240669(Melody: "God Bless the USA" by Lee Greenwood)
(Verse 1)
If tomorrow all the vodka was gone I'd distilled for all my life,
And I had to start again with just my comrades and my wife.
I'd thank my lucky stars to be living here today,
'Cause the bear still stands for freedom, and they can't take that away.
(Chorus)
And I'm proud to be a Russian, where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who froze to keep that freedom for me.
And I'd gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today.
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this landโGod bless Mother Russia!
(Verse 2)
From the frozen lakes of Baikal to the Volga's mighty flow,
From the Urals' endless mountains to Siberia's bitter snow.
Across the steppes of Kazakhstan (wait, that's ours too, you know),
Well, there's pride in every Russian heart, and it's time we let it show.
(Chorus)
And I'm proud to be a Russian, where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who froze to keep that freedom for me.
And I'd gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today.
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this landโGod bless Mother Russia!
(Bridge)
There's the ballet in St. Petersburg, matryoshka dolls stacked high,
Cossack dancers kicking wild under the endless midnight sky.
And our leader, Vladimir Putin, strong as Siberian steel,
Riding bears without a shirt, making deals that make foes kneel.
He says our ladies of the night are undoubtedly the best in the world,
With beauty, grace, and fire that leaves the rest all curled.
(Final Chorus)
And I'm proud to be a Russian, where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who froze (and Putin, our great decree).
And I'd gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today.
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this landโGod bless Mother Russia!
God bless Mother Russia!
