Текст песни Александр Крылов - Когда наши танки...

Red banner - over the city of Riga
It shot up like a last call to the enemies ...
No one heard a farewell cry
But the executioners - gave free rein to their hands!
And there were only four young
Under the roof of St. Peter's Cathedral.
Their souls and nerves rang like strings,
And the Russian burst out menacingly: "Hurray!"

Chorus:

But again our tanks on the streets of Riga
Will rush, tearing off the cobblestones of time.
And the red-star MiGs will fly into the sky,
The glow of scarlet banners will light up the hearts!

The fascist pack mocks them,
And the dogs-home guards seem to be countless ...
Freedom will not return so soon now
But for now there is still strength to fight!
There is Andrec and Cheslav, and there is Honor and Glory,
And the valor of the Riga riot police is alive!
We will return again - to trial and punishment,
And the enemies of the Russian speech will remember the word!

Chorus:

When our tanks through the streets of Riga
Will rush, tearing off the cobblestones of time.
And the red-star MiGs will fly into the sky,
The glow of scarlet banners will light up the hearts!

With a training grenade - and with a song, probably
You defended your Motherland's honor in battle!
Let the burden of sentences so press immensely,
I sing a song to the madness of the rebellious!
When they say to me: "There is no return to the past!"
Like, it's time for all of us to be reconciled already ...
I will remember your heroic deed, guys,
At your chosen holy line!

Chorus:

And Russian tanks on the streets of Riga
Will rush, tearing off the cobblestones of time.
And the red-star MiGs will fly into the sky,
The glow of scarlet banners will light up the hearts!
