This is might be the best song to come out of Russia about WW2. Lyrics below.
- - -
Arise, vast country,
Arise for a fight to the death
Against the dark fascist force,
Against the cursed horde.
Chorus: (2x)
Let noble wrath
Boil over like a wave!
This is the people's war,
a Sacred war!
We shall repulse the oppressors
Of all ardent ideas.
The rapists and the plunderers,
The torturers of people.
Chorus
The black wings shall not dare
Fly over the Motherland,
On her spacious fields
The enemy shall not dare tread!
Chorus
We shall drive a bullet into the forehead
Of the rotten fascist filth,
For the scum of humanity
We shall build a solid coffin!
Chorus (2x)
