Мы рождены, чтоб сказку сделать былью, |
My roždeny, čtob skazku sdelatj byljju, |
English version[]
We were born to make fairy tales real
To overcome space and vastness.
Our mind gave us wings of steel;
In lieu of the heart, a motor that blazes.
Chorus:
Higher, higher, and higher,
We strive for the flight of our birds.
And in every propeller breathes
The accord of our frontiers.
Tossing up his loyal gear,
Or forging a fantastic flight.
We notice our fleet's getting stronger,
The world's first proletarian fleet!
Chorus
Our sharp gaze pierces every atom,
Our every nerve's with bravery dressed;
And believe us on every ultimatum
Our Air Force shall be able to answer.
Chorus
