Hymn of the Bolshevik Party

Summary

The Hymn of the Bolshevik Party (Russian: Гимн па́ртии большевико́в, tr. Gimn pártii bolshevikóv) is a song composed by Alexander Alexandrov. Its lyrics are written by Vasily Lebedev-Kumach. The opening bars of the song is sampled from Life Has Become Better (Russian: Жить ста́ло лу́чше, tr. Zhit stálo lúchshe), one of Alexandrov's previous pieces. From the 1930s to the 1950s, this served as the unofficial anthem of the Bolshevik Party. In 2016, Communists of Russia, a Russian communist party, declared that this piece is their party anthem.

Страны небывалой свободные дети,
Сегодня мы гордую песню поём
О партии самой могучей на свете,
О самом большом человеке своём.
Strany nebyvaloy svobodnye deti,
Segodnya my gorduyu pesnyu poyom
O partii samoy moguchey na svete,
O samom bolshom cheloveke svoyom.
Free children of a state unprecedented,
Today we sing our proud song
About the mightiest party in the world,
About our greatest man ever.
Припев:
Славой овеяна, волею спаяна,
Крепни и здравствуй во веки веков!
Партия Ленина, партия Сталина,
Мудрая партия большевиков!
Pripev:
Slavoy oveyana, voleyu spayana,
Krepni i zdravstvuy vo veki vekov!
Partiya Lenina, partiya Stalina,
Mudraya partiya bolshevikov!
Chorus:
Surrounded by glory, soldered by will,
Grow stronger and live for eternity!
The party of Lenin, the party of Stalin,
The wise party of Bolsheviks!
Cтрану от Kремля создала на земле ты,,
Могучую Родину вольных людей.
Стоит как утес государство Советов,
Рожденное силой и правдой твоей.

Припев
Stranu ot Kremlya sozdala na zemle ty,
Moguchuyu Rodinu volnykh lyudey.
Stoit kak utios gosudarstvo Sovetov,
Rozhdionnoye siloy i pravdoy tvoyey.

Pripev
You have created the country from the Kremlin on Earth,
The mighty motherland of free people.
Our Soviet state stands as a rock,
Born off your power and verity.

Chorus
Изменников подлых гнилую породу
Ты грозно сметаешь с пути своего.
Ты гордость народа, Ты мудрость народа,
Ты сердце народа и совесть его.

Припев
Izmennikov podlykh gniluyu porodu
Ty grozno smetayesh s puti svoyego.
Ty gordost naroda, ty mudrost naroda,
Ty serdtse naroda i sovest yego.

Pripev
Rotten breeds of sneaky traitors
You are fearsomely sweeping away from your path.
You are people's pride, you are people's wisdom,
You are people's heart, and their conscience.

Chorus
И Маркса и Энгельса пламенный гений
Предвидел коммуны грядущий восход.
Дорогу к свободе наметил нам Ленин,
И Сталин великий по ней нас ведёт.

Припев
I Marksa i Engelsa plamenny geniy
Predvidel kommuny gryadushchy voskhod.
Dorogu k svobode nametil nam Lenin,
I Stalin velikiy po ney nas vediot.

Pripev
The sparking genius of Marx and Engels
Predicted the future rise of the commune.
Lenin has outlined us the road to freedom,
and the Great Stalin leads us through it
.
Chorus
