Текст песни Клавдия Шульженко, 1954 г. - Будь спортсменом

Music: Anatoliy Lepin Lyrics: Olga Fadeeva

To prolong youthfulness,
Do not be afraid of old age,
Do not get sick or depressed,
And do not know fatigue,

To sleep and appetite
There was always excellent,
To have a youthful appearance -
Make yourself an athlete!

Chorus:
Runner, jumper, footballer
Skater, gymnast, swimmer -
Seasoned, strongest, fastest,
And the battle, and work well done.

Athletes store
The glorious traditions:
Won everybody
Our abroad.
Go round the whole globe,
Throughout our know:
They are not afraid of cold, heat,
They are not afraid of nobody!

Chorus

Our country is proud
Slava legendary;
Guardian of the world and work
It became our army.
At the post if Labor,
In the case of any military -
To be the first in everything,
It is necessary to be an athlete.

Chorus
