English version[]
White is the Army and Black the Baron
That want to restore the old Tsar’s throne
But from the taiga to British seas
The people’s Red Army’s at the peak of strength!
Chorus:
𝄆 Let the Red Army
Take in its journey
A bayonet with its harden’d hand,
And now we must all
Unstopped by walls
Go into one last deadly stand! 𝄇
O people’s Red Army, let’s march on our way!
Rev-Mil-Council calls us into the fray.
For from the taiga to British seas
The people’s Red Army’s at the peak of strength!
𝄆 Chorus 𝄇
Flames and fires worldwide we seek to ignite,
Razing down churches and prisons in tide.
For from the taiga to British seas
The people’s Red Army’s at the peak of strength!
𝄆 Pripev 𝄇
