Текст песни В. Матусов и В. Копылов - Ленинградская застольная

We rarely meet friends
But when it happened,
remember what happened and drink as usual,
As it was in Russia!
remember what happened and drink as usual,
As it was in Russia!

Let the fighting family of Leningrad
sits with us at the table,
Let's remember how the Russian soldier's strength
I was driving the Germans for Tikhvin!

Will be glorified for centuries
under the machine gun howl!
Our bayonets on the heights of Sinyavino
our shelves are under Mgoy!

Let us recall those who commanded companies
who died in the snow,
Who made their way to Leningrad by swamps,
squeezing the throat of the enemy!

Let us remember those who for weeks long,
froze in damp dugouts,
Fought on Ladoga, fought on Volkhov,
did not retreat a step!

Let's drink and check out in circles standing we
between fighting friends!
Let's drink to the courage of the fallen heroes,
let's drink to the meeting of the living!

We rarely meet friends
But when it happened,
remember what happened and drink as usual,
As it was in Russia!
remember what happened and drink as usual,
As it was in Russia!
