"The Sacred War" The most famous song of the Great Patriotic War. This song and the famous poster "The Mother-Motherland calls you" are the symbols of the Great Patriotic War. This song was made in the first hours after the beginning of the war. It was published on June, 24th in some central newspapers. And already on June, 26th an orchestra played this song in Moscow when troops were loading in a train for transferring to a frontline… [Rem. AMVAS. Unfortunately radical communists made this song their own hymn now. But it's wrong to associate this greatest song only with communists. You can see yourself that there are no a single(!) word about communists or about Stalin in this song.] ******************************************************************************************** "The Sacred War" (Translated by Andrey in cooperation with AMVAS) Stand up, huge country! Stand up for the mortal battle Against Fascist’s dark force, against a damned horde. Let noble fury to boil like a wave - The nation-wide war, the sacred war is going on! Let noble fury to boil like a wave - The nation-wide war, the sacred war is going on! Let repulse to oppressors of all burning ideas To rapists, robbers, torturers of people. Let noble fury to boil like a wave - The nation-wide war, the sacred war is going on! Black wings have no dare to fly over the Motherland The enemy has no dare to make dirty its spacious fields Let noble fury to boil like a wave - The nation-wide war, the sacred war is going on! Let’s hammer a bullet in the forehead of Fascist’s rotten vermin [1] Let’s knock up firm coffin for the spawn of the humanity! Let noble fury to boil like a wave - The nation-wide war, the sacred war is going on! Let noble fury to boil like a wave - The nation-wide war, the sacred war is going on! 1941 [1] Fascist meaning Nazi here (AMVAS) ******************************************************************************************** The Russian version (translit): "Sviashchennaia voina" Vstavai, strana ogromnaia, vstavai na smertnyi boi! S fashistskoi siloi tiomnoiu, s prokliatoiu ordoi. Pust' iarost' blagorodnaia vskipaet, kak volna - Idiot voina narodnaia, sviashchennaia voina! Pust' iarost' blagorodnaia vskipaet, kak volna - Idiot voina narodnaia, sviashchennaia voina! Dadim otpor dushiteliam vsekh plamennykh idei, Nasil'nikam, grabiteliam, muchiteliam liudei. Pust' iarost' blagorodnaia vskipaet, kak volna - Idiot voina narodnaia, sviashchennaia voina! Ne smeiut kryl'ia chiornye nad Rodinoi letat', Polia eio prostornye ne smeet vrag toptat'. Pust' iarost' blagorodnaia vskipaet, kak volna - Idiot voina narodnaia, sviashchennaia voina! Gniloi fashistskoi nechisti zagonim puliu v lob, Otrod'iu chelovechestva skolotim krepkii grob! Pust' iarost' blagorodnaia vskipaet, kak volna - Idiot voina narodnaia, sviashchennaia voina! Pust' iarost' blagorodnaia vskipaet, kak volna - Idiot voina narodnaia, sviashchennaia voina! 1941
