Russia
"Gimn Rossiyskoy Federatsii" (Hymn of the Russian Federation)

Words by: Sergei Vladimirovich Mikhalkov
Music by: Alexandr Vasilievich Alexandrov
Adopted: 2000

In the last few days of 2000, Russia's new president Vladimir Putin, decided to give the Russian people a new anthem, since a common complaint was not having words to their current anthem. So Putin, upon the advice of the Communists in the parliament who could vote down the bill, adopted the old anthem from the Soviet Union, identifying with the country's past. However, only the music passed the legislative process in early to mid December, 1999. The new words that were written by Sergei Vladimirovich Mikhalkov (the same person who wrote the lyrics to the old Soviet anthem!) to replace the Communist-style words were passed by Presidential order on December 30 of that year (many deputies objected to the mention of God in the anthem text.)





RUSSIAN LYRICS

Rossiya svyaschennaya nasha dyerzhava
Rossiya lyubimaya nasha strana
Moguchaya volya vyelikaya slava
Tvoyo dostoyan'ye na vsya vryemyena!!!

CHORUS:
Slav'sya Otechestvo, nashe svobodnoye
Bratskikh narodov soyuz vyekovoy
Predkami dannaya mudrost' narodnaya
Slav'sya strana my gordimsya toboy!

Ot yuzhnykh morey do polyarnogo kraya
Raskinulis' nashi lesa i polya
Odna ty na svete odna ty takaya
Khranimaya bogom rodnaya zyemlya!

CHORUS

Shirokiy prostor dlya mechty i dlya zhizni
Gryaduschiye nam otkryvayut goda
Nam silu dayot nasha vernost' Otchiznye
Tak bylo, tak yest' i tak budet vsyegda!

CHORUS

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

1. O Russia, for ever you're strong sacred country!
O Russia, for ever the land that we love!
The glory that's great and the will that is mighty -
So be they thy virtue for ages to come.

CHORUS
Praised be the Fatherland, cherishing home of ours -
Cent'ries-old union of peoples in free,
Popular wisdom given us by forefathers.
Praised be our country! And we're proud of thee!

2. From seas in the South and up to polar border
Our woods and our meadows have stretched far away.
Alone in the whole world, you stand one and only!
By God saved as ever our dear native land.

CHORUS

3. For generous dreaming, for living and longing
The years approaching give us ample scope.
With faith in our Homeland we are getting stronger.
It was so, it is so and it will be so!

Richard, hope you have learned how to sing this hymn by heart, you will have to perform it with Lana today !!!:D :D :D

[Richard]

Hehehehe, jep, i'll be singing along. ;)

Lana promised me to sing it today, i asked for a duet wit Tanya too :)

[AltF4]

I don't speak Russian but i loved the music the first time I heard it played on tv during the olympics when I was a kid. A few years ago I finally learned to sing it phoenetically, that is, I could sing the old soviet words by heart without knowing what they meant...this was before I'd heard about the newer lyrics or else I would've learned those instead. However, what is done is done.

And ...
