Our translations: CHI
Край ты мой, родимый край! Конский бег на воле, В небе крик орлиных стай, Волчий голос в поле! Гой ты, родина моя! Гой ты, бор дремучий! Свист полночный соловья, Ветер, степь да тучи!

My native land
Language: English after the Russian (Русский)
Homeland, mine, my native land! Beating hoofs of horse, Scream of eagles in the sky, Howl of wolves in winter. Hi! thou native land of mine! Dreaming virgin forests, Midnight songs of nightingales, Wind-swept fields and meadows.
From a concert program from 1935.
