Dorogaya moya stolitsa

1. Ya po svetu nemalo khazhival,
Zhil v zemlyanke, v okopakh, v tayge,
Pokhoronen byl dvazhdy zazhivo,
Znal razluku, lyubil v toske.
No Moskvoyu privyk ya gordit’sya
I vezde povtoryal ya slova:

Chorus:
Dorogaya moya stolitsa,
Zolotaya moya Moskva!

2. Ya lyublyu podmoskovnyye roshchi
I mosty nad tvoyeyu rekoy,
Ya lyublyu tvoyu Krasnuyu ploshchad’
I kremlёvskikh kurantov boy.
V gorodakh i dalёkikh stanitsakh
O tebe ne umolknet molva,

Chorus

3. My zapomnim surovuyu osen’,
Skrezhet tankov i otblesk shtykov,
I v vekakh budut zhit’ dvadtsat’ vosem’
Samykh khrabrykh tvoikh synov.
I vragu nikogda ne dobit’sya,
Chtob sklonilas’ tvoya golova,

Chorus (×2)
