Magic Bridge

1.
We want to build a bridge
Which will reach the stars,
Which will reach the stars
So that we can rise above the clouds
And touch a ray of light.
And touch a ray of light.
So that we can see, in the distance,
All the ships and seas, all the ships and seas.
 
It will be the best bridge ever,
The very, very best bridge,
The longest bridge in the world.
 
2.
We want to build a bridge
Which will reach the stars,
Which will reach the stars.
So that we can see flashes of lightning,
And feed birds from the palms of our hands,
And feed birds from the palms of our hands.
So that we can see beyond the clouds
Five continents at once, five continents at once.
 
It will be the best bridge ever,
The very, very best bridge,
The strongest bridge in the world.
 
3.
We want to build a bridge
Which will reach the stars,
Which will reach the stars.
A bridge of magical beauty,
Made of smiles and dreams,
Made of smiles and dreams.
It will stand between heaven and earth,
As colorful as a rainbow, as colorful as a rainbow.
 
It will be the best bridge ever,
The very, very best bridge,
The most friendly bridge in the world.

What a guy he was

Do you know what a guy he was,
he who opened the way to the stars?
...As flames and thunder raged
across the spaceport,
he just said quielty...
 
He just said 'Let's go!'
and waved his hand
as if on a small trip,
but the whole world watched him1
soar above the Earth...
 
You know, what a guy he was!
How he loved the fields of his motherland.
In this distant steppe,
the first orbital flight was
a declaration of love to Earth2
 
He just said 'Let's go!'
and waved his hand
as if on a small trip,
but the whole world watched him
soar above the Earth...
 
You know, what a guy he was!
The whole world carried him at arm's length3...
A son of Earth and the stars,
he was gentle and modest4.
He brought people light like Danko5...
 
He just said 'Let's go!'
and waved his hand
as if on a small trip,
but the whole world watched him
soar above the Earth...
 
You know, what a guy he was!
What a hockey player!6
The songs he sang!
He was joyous and daring...
He had such a will to live!
 
He just said 'Let's go!'
and waved his hand
as if on a small trip,
but the whole world watched him
soar above the Earth...
 
You know, what a guy he was!
No, not 'was'! He prevailed over death!
Can you hear this distant thunder?
See, it's him
headed for the spaceport again...
 
He just said 'Let's go!'
and waved his hand
as if on a small trip,
but the whole world watched him
soar above the Earth!
 

• 1. 'вдоль по Питерской' (along the St Petersburg road) is a famous folk song.
  Due to the song's story, the expression came to mean 'in plain sight'
• 2. 'the first departure from Earth was a declaration of love to her'
• 3. lit. 'in their hands' but I guess the idea is rather that the whole world supported him
• 4. more like 'down-to-earth', but that would feel a bit awkward here
• 5. A character from Maxim Gorky's tale 'Старуха Изергиль'. I'm afraid that's a very Russian reference that would require a lot of explaining for little gain.
• 6. 'how he went on the ice with a (hockey) stick'

the whole world will sing our song!
 
We march by the Kremlin

• 1. 'lit (as if by dawn) by the glory of the sun'
• 2. 'The wind of youth makes the wings of flags and standards flutter'
• 3. I'm not 100% sure why the verb is singular here, I suppose the word and the songs are handled as a whole
• 4. So as to remind the guys there to behave, I guess...

Higgledy-piggledy

Higgledy-piggledy the ship will not come out,
The ship will not come out,
And airship even more so,
And airship even more so.
It is necessary that the screw and two wings,

To float, to decrease smoothly,

And most importantly the heart. Heart - motor,
To drive the hurricane of the wind,
To make no noise, or on foot,
And then on foot from three thousand meters.
If you do not put together at once,
Do not Give Up Brother,
Do not Give Up Brother,
Work for more than one week.
After all, the Wright brothers on the first motor ,
Flew no more than a minute.
 
Higgledy-piggledy the ship will not come out,

And airship even more so,
And airship even more so.

To float, to decrease smoothly,
To float, to decrease smoothly.
 
Higgledy-piggledy the ship will not come out,
The ship will not come out,
And airship even more so.
 

Sparrow’s song

1
I don't need either toys,
or the colored pencils
because of sparrow
who has lodged near the birdfeeder.
if only he obeyed better,
this cunning mischievous bird …
I have decided just in case
to learn bird language.
 
Refrain:
Tweet-tweet-tweet
Tweet-tweet-tweet
everyone needs friends.
Tweet-tweet-tweet
Tweet-tweet-tweet
even sparrows do.
 
2
So many tasty sandwiches,
I crumbled to the birdfeeder.
It is a very hard work to
train a sparrow.
though the people in our district
are surprised.
The sparrow can dance the squat dance,
Clap the hands and sing.
 
Refrain
 
3
We share our lunch,
as friends do.
He chirped about it
to all his sparrows-friends.
I’ll give them the crumbs sweeter than before
and in one week
Everyone will see a real
sparrow round dance.
 
Refrain
 

Take A Bow, Grandchildren Before Your Grandfather

Take a bow, grandchildren before your grandfather.
He fought the good fight
He went through fire and smoke
And remained young.
He walked, sweeping the enemies away,
He walked, knowing no exhaustion.
Leaving his father`s home
He was the first to take the front line.
 
Chorus
Granfathers, our grandfathers,
We are grateful to you for the victory
You saved the Motherland for us,
Our grandfathers, glory to you
Our grandfathers, glory to you
 
Take a bow, grandchildren before your grandfather
Victory for the country`s sake he forged ahead
He sowed and steel he made,
He worked as hard as he could.
So that there would be enough bread,
So that the sky would be bright,
Fighting the fascists day and night,
And the enemies were taking flight
 
Chorus
 
Take a bow, grandchildren before your grandfather.
He fought the good fight
He went through fire and smoke
And remained young.
He went through storms and blizzards,
He went through bullets and shrapnels,
So that all the people around the world
Might live forever in unity and harmony.
 
Chorus
 

Farewell, Rocky Mountains

Farewell, rocky mountains,
For heroic deed the homeland calls.
Out to the open see we sailed,
On a harsh and distant route.
But the waves moan and groan,
And splash aboard the ship.
Slightly Rybachy* vanished in the distant fog
The dear land of ours.
 
My ship stubbornly is shaken by
Steep sea wave,
That pitches up and down again and again
Into the boiling abyss
I won`t be back that soon,
But the power / fire is sufficient for the fight.
I know, fellows, I cannot make it without the sea,
Just like the sea is dead without me.
 
With an unsteady sailor`s steps
I am ready / go the enemies to face.
And then with a heroic triumph
Back to the rocky shores will I return.
Even though the waves moan and groan,
And splash aboard the ship,
Jubilantly will be welcomed the heroes of Rybachy* -
The dear land of ours.
 

The song of a bugle

With the songs of a bugle
starts the dawn,
it's a voice
of Pioneers' sonorous years.
Again by bugle
the uplift is announced,
with the song of a bugle
to the happy day we go!
 
Chorus:
 
To the struggle
to the fighting
to the celebration
Pioneers with the song of a bugle went.
The song of a bugle -
is the song of the sun,
the song of the sunny earth.
 
By the song of a bugle
we start all work,
this voice
was given to a bugle by the Motherland!
to the school,
also to the vacation, and to the work,
year by year
bugles call the sonorous!
 
The song of a bugle
wider than steppe, higher than mountains,
with her we will proudly
travel across the native land,
answer
the known light call,
hand out
our answer: 'Always ready!'
 

Heroes of the revolution

At the eyes of the entire World,
fighting for the truth and for the happiness,
they in the year '17
lighted the star of Soviet state,
they in the year '17,
they in the year '17
lighted the star of Soviet state.
 
Chorus:
 
Heroes of the revolution,
Native names.
Heroes of the revolution,
entire country knows them.
In old photos the eyes
look always young,
and glory of old exploits,
forever young.
Forever, forever,
forever young.
 
We remember them, we remember them,
so sacredly obedient to the nation,
in the cruel fights, fulled with the fire.
They fought for the freedom,
in the cruel fights, fulled with the fire.
In the cruel fights. Fulled with the fire.
They fought for the freedom.
 
Chorus.
 
When in those memorable days,
from the Aurora salvos thundered,
they became part of the history,
they became and in our song they appeared,
they became part of the history,
they became part of the history,
they became and in our song they appeared,
 
Chorus.
 

That's What Arték* Is

How could I explain you what 'Arték' is?
It is beautiful at dawn as well as in daytime.
Even if you cover a whole notebook with writing,
Anyway, you won't (be able to) explain about it.
 
Chorus:
 
'Arték' - this is an infinite sea
And joyful sunrise.
Gladness, that in the heart for good remains,
That`s what it is, that`s what it is,
That`s what it is - 'Arték'!
 
How could I explain you what 'Arték' is?
It is - a song over the blue wave.
Where can I get fairy words from?
So that in colours 'Arték' can be transformed?
 
Chorus:
 
How could I explain you what 'Arték' is?
It is - the starlit moment of childhood
It is - friendship and memories of those,
You got acquainted with by the camp-fire's light.
 

I want to know about that

I really want to know about that,
But as ill luck would have it, nobody is telling me
Why is the night dark,
And why is the daytime bright?
 
Why, why
Why do we love things that taste good,
Why, why
Is the water flowing in the river?
Why, why,
Are we sad without friends
Why, why
Are we always happy with them?
 
I am asking everyone, I am patient,
But nobody wants to tell me about it,
Why are the plums growing on the branches,
And why are the carrots hiding underground?
 
Why, why
Why do we love things that taste good,
Why, why
Is the water flowing in the river?
Why, why,
Are we sad without friends
Why, why
Are we always happy with them?
 
Atleast somebody has to answer me
To my simple questions,
Why everyone does everyone want to laugh,
But nobody wants to cry?
 
Why, why
Why do we love things that taste good,
Why, why
Is the water flowing in the river?
Why, why,
Are we sad without friends
Why, why
Are we always happy with them?
 

Let the Sun will always be

The Sun in the form of a circle
And the sky is arround the Sun
Are a boy's drawing.
He drew it on a paper
And wrote in the corner:
 
'Let the Sun will always be!
Let the sky will always be!
Let my mother will always be!
Let I will always be! (x2)'
 
Hey, soldier, be quietly!
Soldier, do you hear
How people are afraid of explosions?
Thousands of eyes look at the sky,
And lips stubbornly say it:
 
'Let the Sun will always be!
Let the sky will always be!
Let my mother will always be!
Let I will always be! (x2)'
 
We will stand for our boys
Against affliction
And war.
'The Sun for life! Happiness for life!'
These words is admonition of people.
 
Let the Sun will always be!
Let the sky will always be!
Let my mother will always be!
Let I will always be! (x2)
 
Let I will always be!
 

The forest march

Birds sang us 'Rise up!',
And we walk our habitual paths,
We will save every birch
In forests of our dear Motherland.
 
Chorus:
 
In the green book of forests,
We ourselves have writen
That our forest
Has trusted friends.
They are girls,
They are boys,
And they are happy
Like me and you!
 
Lights of our songs flash here,
We walk our forests and copes
Under cedars of the nice taiga
And pines of the Polesye.
 
The Sun will smile at us cheerfully,
And every day will seem us more joyful
When our seedlings
Will grow on all our land.
 
So our good wizards-forests
Are looking like poets and artists!
The nature gives much miracles for people,
And we are its helpers!
 

The Ballad of the Pioneer Flag

1.
It was in the Great Patriotic War:
One little boy
Went to the West across the front
During all day and all night.
He went during all day and all night.
The snowstorm and frost coudn't scare him,
He carried a Pioneer Flag.
 
Chorus:
There was the honor of the Pioneer Squad
In this flag,
There was living a peaceful song
Of pioneers' bonfires
In this flag.
The little boy carried
A golden little light
Across the front, across the war.
 
2.
Despite everything,
He never let himself to cry,
In his way, he fell from hunger,
But he always got up.
He went in front of bullets, he sank many times,
But he saved the Soviet Flag.
 
Chorus:
There was the honor of the Pioneer Squad
In this flag,
There was living a peaceful song
Of pioneers' bonfires
In this flag.
Across the front,
The little boy has brought
A golden little light to the Victory.
 
3.
Though many years
Have passed since that war,
The color of the Red Flag
Never turns pale.
And it always
Will be dearly for us
The same as for our fathers!
 
Chorus:
There is the flight
Of our new discoveries,
There is living
A peaceful song
And the funny light smoke
Of pioneers' bonfires.
Pioneer, be ready
To keep this flag!
 

By horses, guys

The trumpet sings army,
The trumpet sings army,
And in the pioneer camp, the guys are still sleeping.
They have an adventure,
Chase, offensive,
They are dreaming of sabers sharp and military parade.
 
Chorus / 2times. /:
By horses, guys,
In chase, guys!
For the exploits of heroic boys were born.
A soldier's weapon,
A soldier's weapon,
We all must own weapons, weapons!
 
The trumpet sings army,
And the pioneer mines
With a pipe echo, call the guys on a hike.
So be tempered from the youth,
To cold and hunger,
And you were not afraid of the bullet when trouble comes.
 
Chorus
 
The trumpet sings army,
The draft, guards,
A solemn dawn is dawning over the peaceful homeland!
Sings the trumpet about courage,
About combat cooperation,
And there is no better music for the pioneer!
 

Natashka First-grader

The scarlet clusters of rowanberries twinkle.
Like hundreds of cheerful flames.
Today I am not going to school alone,
But with my younger little sister.
 
(My) Little sister Natashka is now a first-grader
Now she is a schoolgirl.
And all our street knows about it.
And all our country knows about it.
 
And a new dress, and a new school bag
Suit her pretty well, they say.
I am the first to open for her the school gate
Not wihtout reason I am the elder brother!
 
(My) Little sister Natashka is now a first-grader
Now she is a schoolgirl.
And all the street knows about it.
And all our country know about it.
 
And everybody around gives her a smile
And waving at us, as we are passing by.
And I myself become as a grown-up
I take my little sister to school.
 
(My) Little sister Natashka is now a first-grader
Now she is a schoolgirl.
And all the street knows about it.
And all our country know about it.
 

This world is so wonderful

You will wake up at daybreak
and together we will meet
the nascent dawn1...
 
This world is so wonderful, look!

You can't help but notice that
nightingales live in this world

This world is so wonderful, look!
This world is so wonderful!

The smile

From the smile the gloomy day is brighter
From the smile the rainbow will wake up in the sky
Share your smile with everyone
And it will often come back to you, just try
 
And then for sure suddenly the clouds start to dance
And grasshopper will play the violin
The river begins from a little blue spring
Well, and friendship from the smile starts
The river begins from a little blue spring
Well, and friendship from the smile starts
 
From just one sunny smile
The saddest little rain will stop crying
The kind forest will say goodbye to silence
And start clapping it's green hands
 
And then for sure suddenly the clouds start to dance
And grasshopper will play the violin
The river begins from a little blue spring
Well, and the friendship from the smile starts
The river begins from a little blue spring
Well, and the friendship from the smile starts
 
The smile will warm everyone of course
The elephant and even the little snail
So let everywhere on Earth
Like light bulbs turning on the smiles
 
And then for sure suddenly the clouds start to dance
And grasshopper will play the violin
The river begins from a little blue spring
Well, and the friendship from the smile starts
The river begins from a little blue spring
Well, and the friendship from the smile starts
 

The evening at outer harbour

Let's sing, my friends, for tomorrow we march on
We'll leave before dawn in the fog
Let's sing cheerfully and may sing along,
Our grey-haired combat captain.
 
Chorus:
Farewell, beloved city!
We leave tomorrow at sea.
And just before dawn will flash by the stern
Your blue familiar shawl.
 
And the evening again as good as can be,
That not to sing we simply can't.
On friendship that's great, on service at sea,
Let's sing along together my friends.
 
Chorus:
 
Farewell, beloved city!
We leave tomorrow at sea.
And just before dawn will flash by the stern
Your blue familiar shawl.
 
On big outer harbour the silence lay,
And the sea was enveloped in fog.
And our dear shore is kissed by the wave,
And quiet sound of accordion floats.
 
Chorus:
Farewell, beloved city!
We leave tomorrow at sea.
And just before dawn will flash by the stern
Your blue familiar shawl.

IT'S JUST GREAT

We love to do somersaults in the grass,
And splash around in the water,
And, to shake loose some thoughts in our heads,
Walk around on our hands.
And to be perfectly honest:
It's great to be alive!
Our country is in its childhood.
 
Refrain:
How great it is in our country!
Just great! Simply wonderful!
Everyone should have such a country.
So great! Just wonderful!
Perhaps not a country
As wide, or as long -
But, no matter, it's great in our country.
Just wonderful. Simply great!
We love to sit quietly,
And dream - like this:
Our entire class is riding on one elephant,
We're flying off to visit the Martians,
To be honest,
It's just great to be alive!
Our country is full of miracles,
And our country is just getting started.
Refrain:
Just wonderful! Just great!
Everyone on Earth should have such a country!
Just wonderful! Simply wonderful!
Maybe yours should not be
As long or as wide,
But, who cares, it's great in our country.
Just great! Just wonderful!
 
We love to grow every year,
And become a little smarter,
And read some good books,
In order to do everything correctly,
And we say honestly,
It's great to be alive.
Our country is full of miracles,
And this country is just getting started.
Refrain:
How great it is in our country!
Just wonderful! Simply great!
Everyone on Earth should have such a country!
Just great! Just wonderful!
Maybe not as wide or as long for you,
Still, everything's great in our country.
Just wonderful! Simply great!
Just wonderful! Simply great!
 

My Comrade Time

In the haze of the steppe disappeared my home,
I leave you for awhile and my youth.
Please, don't let me be alone,
My Comrade Truth, my Comrade Truth!
 
I can do everything, my oath I won't break
I'll warm the earth with the breath of mine...
You only give an order- and I won't be afraid,
My Comrade Time, my Comrade Time!
 
Again the sound of alarm and I'm awake,
And again the battle, and such,it's tight for the bullets to be apart,
You only don't blow up halfway,
My Comrade Heart, my Comrade Heart!
 
In thick smoke are midday's, and midnight's,
And from the smoke I want to make them free...
You only everything, please, memorise,
My Comrade Memory, my Comrade Memory!

And of course, it's better to join in the Chorus
Join the Chorus, join the Chorus
 
The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable. (Prov 25:3 KJV)

Song of the Giraffe

There's a place in the world
free of cares
Where proudly walks
Like a Count (1)
A very long-eared
Animal
Adorned with the marvelous name
'Giraffe'
 
What for then, what for the
Do you all want, my brothers
On a giraffe, on a giraffe
to ride a real giraffe (2)
What for do you want, my brothers
To ride a real giraffe.
 
We will spend the time
In a quite pleasant way
We will sing together
and dance
And the stately giraffe (3)
with the spotted hide
We can play with it
And its many dots (4)
 
What for then, what for the
Do you all want, my brothers
On a giraffe, on a giraffe
to ride a real giraffe
What for do you want, my brothers
To ride a real giraffe.
 
There, in winter and summer
it is always green
And it stands (5)
With its head up high
To the giraffe everything
Happens slowly
But we like the giraffe anyway
 
What for then, what for the
Do you all want, my brothers
On a giraffe, on a giraffe
to ride a real giraffe (2)
What for do you want, my brothers
To ride a real giraffe.
 
The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable. (Prov 25:3 KJV)

The whole world needs peace

Stars of Victory, Stars of Victory
Stars of Victory, blazing above us
They give the planet, they give the planet
They give the planet the rays of october (1)
What valiant act of our brave homeland
For our planet earth to remember
O joy of life, o joy of life
The stars on the Kremlin are shining!
 
(REF)
The power of our friendship
(Grows) stronger every year
Truth cannot be extinguished (2)
A lasting peace, like air (2a)
All the nations do need it
The whole world needs peace
 
Contending with storms, contending with storms
Fighting storms to bring happiness to the earth
The day-spring of peace, the day-spring of peace
A dawn of peace which we started ourselves
In boundless clear open spaces (3)
The planet earth can behold
The sun of hope, the sun of hope
The stars on the Kremlin are shining!
 
(REF)
 
One big family, one big family
One big family, all nations are laboring for
Stand by the wall, stand by the wall
Stand by the wall, for a lasting peace
With our immortal banner
That the planet earth believes in
Like beacons to us, like beacons to us
The stars on the Kremlin are shining!

Labor brigade march

People will be happy
Happy forevermore
And the soviet authority
its power is great
 
(REF)
 
Today we are not on parade
But on the road towards communism
In the communist brigade with us
Lenin is marching ahead
In the communist brigade with us
Lenin is marching ahead
 
We're always in the toughest places
Every hour we're on the road
Work days are
Like holidays for us
 
If they give us the call
We won't let them down
The sun of a new life
We will light on this earth
 
The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable. (Prov 25:3 KJV)

What are you dreaming of, Cruiser Aurora?

The city in the North, is silently dozing
Low-flying clouds above our heads
What are you dreaming of, cruiser Aurora ?
At the hour, when morning dawns over the Neva river. (1)
What are you dreaming of, cruiser Aurora ?
At the hour, when morning dawns over the Neva river.
 
See gun-salvos flaring in the distance
Or, as before, in black pea-jackets (2)
Your patrolmen marching boldly
Or, as before, in black pea-jackets
Your patrolmen marching boldly
 
The waves so steep, the storms so grey
Such is the fate, of many ships
Their fates are similar, yay somewhat similar
Somewhat similar, as the fate of people
 
Breathing the salt-soaked wind out in the open
Lightnings flash up in the dark thunderstorm (3)
What are you dreaming of, cruiser Aurora ?
At the hour, when morning dawns over the Neva river.
What are you dreaming of, cruiser Aurora ?
At the hour, when morning dawns over the Neva river.
 
The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable. (Prov 25:3 KJV)

Boys

Frost's drawing ornaments on the window
But our boys don't like sitting in the warm room
Boys, boys are racing the snow hills.
Boys, boys impossible not to be jealous of them
 
Waltz is playing on the prom
The first time boys are shy seeing girls
Boys, boys, the heart started beating suddenly
Boys, what is your Future?
 
When the alarm sounded in homeland
Boys are standing in the soldiers range
Boys, boys, the first time on the battle
Boys, boys, defended homeland
 
Sailing in the oceans, flying high in the sky
Serious men with a boy sparkle in the eyes
Boys, boys, even the years pass
Boys, boys, are always boys for us
 

No Need To Be Blue

When I become bored or blue,
And don't feel like reading or taking a walk.
And am in a bad mood - well, who needs that?
 
Oranges and candy,
Bicycle horns,
Pinocchio and The Firebird,
The puppy dog in Building 30,
Pies, badges, stamps,
Birthdays and presents,
The Central Park movie theater,
Where they're showing 'Hey, Just a Minute!'
 
I'm smiling and enjoying myself again.
I'm not reading myself to sleep anymore,
I've got no time for moaning, groaning, being bored.
I'm done with this bad mood in just 5 minutes.
 
Oranges and candy,
Bicycle horns,
Pinocchio and The Firebird,
The puppy dog in Building 30,
Pies, badges and stamps,
Birthdays and presents,
The Central Park movie theater,
Where they're showing 'Hey, Just a Minute!'
 
And if something slightly depresses you,
I have advice for you, friend, believe me,
Your bad mood will quickly pass,
If you'll just conjure up thoughts, like I:
 
Oranges and candy,
Bicycle horns,
Pinocchio and The Firebird,
The puppy dog in Building 30,
Pies, badges, stamps,
Birthdays and presents,
The Central Park movie theater,
Where they're playing 'Hey! Just A Minute!'

Song About A Magic Flower

Somewhere there is a deep scarlet flower,
It is bright, fiery like a dawn,
The very sunny and unheard-of,
Not in vain it is called 'a dream'.
 
Maybe there, behind the seventh mountain pass,
Fresh, like a gulp of the wind,
The very fairy and unheard-of,
The very magic flower will flare up.
The very fairy and unheard-of,
The very magic flower will flare up.
 
Remembering the happy miracle,
Walking far in ringing dew,
Many people are looking for that flower,
But, of course, not all of them find it.
 
Maybe there, behind the seventh mountain pass,
Fresh, like a gulp of the wind,
The very fairy and unheard-of,
The very magic flower will flare up.
The very fairy and unheard-of,
The very magic flower will flare up.
