Текст песни Валерий Гаранин и Александр Леонов - Взятие Казани Иоанном Грозным

From the dense forests of the north
Not a dark cloud has risen;
And the host is strong, mighty -
Tsar Groznov, Moskovskov.

Like a fast-flying bird
The blue sea flew by ...
So the Russian power has passed
The steppe is empty, impassable.

And she came uninvited
To the glorious kingdom of Kazan,
To busurman - fierce khan,
To his own sworn enemy.

And where else is the zoryushka sleeping,
And Russia is fighting with the Tatar, -
She broke down strong walls -
And she went for a walk around the city;

Warlords, rati brave
They drive, beat the Tatars in the streets;
And on the tower with the Russian banner
The young tsar stands - like the sun!

(Alexey Koltsov, October 17, 1841)
