Vzmyl orlom ot gor vysokix There soared like an eagle from
the high mountains
Sizokrylyj velikan ... A grey-winged giant ...
Xor (dvazhdy povtoryaetsya): Chorus (repeated twice):
    Kryl ne slozhit on shirokix,
    He will not fold his broad wings,
    Ix ne slomit uragan.
    No hurricane will overpower them.

Tyanet solnce nas k vershinam, The sun holds us to the heights,
Ne robeem my nichut'... We fear nothing at all...
