Russian (Cyrillic Script)

Россия — священная наша держава,
Россия — любимая наша страна.
Могучая воля, великая слава —
Твоё достоянье на все времена!

Припев:
Славься, Отечество наше свободное,
Братских народов союз вековой,
Предками данная мудрость народная!
Славься, страна! Мы гордимся тобой!

От южных морей до полярного края
Раскинулись наши леса и поля.
Одна ты на свете! Одна ты такая —
Хранимая Богом родная земля!

Припев

Широкий простор для мечты и для жизни
Грядущие нам открывают года.
Нам силу даёт наша верность Отчизне.
Так было, так есть и так будет всегда!

Припев

Gryadushchiye nam otkryvayut goda.

Russia — our sacred blessed state,
Russia — our beloved country.
A mighty willpower and great glory
Are your inheritance for all time!

Chorus:
Be glorious, our free Fatherland,
Age-old union of fraternal peoples,
Popular wisdom given by our forebears!

From the southern seas to the polar region
Spread our forests and fields.
You are unique in the world, one of a kind —
This native land protected by God!

Wide spaces for dreams and for living
Are opened for us by the coming years.
Our loyalty to the Fatherland gives us strength.
So it was, so it is, and so it will always be!
