Russian originalRomanization of RussianEnglish translation

Несокрушимая и легендарная,
В боях познавшая радость побед -
Тебе любимая, родная армия
Шлёт наша Родина песню - привет.
Тебе шлёт Родина песню - привет.

Nesokrušimaja i legendarnaja,
V bojah poznavšaja radostj pobed -
Tebe ljubimaja, rodnaja armija
Šljot naša Rodina pesnju - privet
Tebe šljot Rodina pesnju - privet.

Invincible and legendary,
In battle, who experienced the joy of victories -
You dear beloved, native army
Our Motherland sends this song - hello!
The Motherland sends you a song - hello!
