Звонче жаворонка пенье, Ярче вешние цветы, Сердце полно вдохновенья, Небо полно красоты. Разорвав тоски оковы, Цепи пошлые разбив, Набегает жизни новой Торжествующий прилив, И звучит свежо и юно Новых сил могучий строй, Как натянутые струны Между небом и землей.

The lark's song is ringing louder, The spring flowers are growing brighter, The heart is full of inspiration, The sky is full of splendour. Destroying the shackles And the chains of of spleen Rushes in the triumphant tide Of a new life. Youthfully and freshly sounds The mighty accord of the new forces, Like the stretched strings Between heaven and earth.
