Земля моя, земля родная, твоим просторам нет конца, красой нетленною сияя, к севе влечёшь ты все сердца. Велик народ Отчивны нашей могуч, отважен и сплочён, врагам, как гнев судьбы он страшен, друзьям, как братьям верен он. Два клада он хранит бесценных и шёл на смерть не раз, от покушений дерзновенных в бою спасая их для нас. В них наше счастье и отряда, известны всем их имена: Свобода, Дружба-те два клада, и ими Родина сильна, да! Спокойный, мудрый, величавый, растёт и крепнет наш народ, не бранной он гордится славой, а тем, что мир земле несёт. Свой стяг высоко поднимая, шагает русский великан, он к вечной дружбе призывает народы всех племён и стран!

My land, native land, your expanses never end, glowing with incorruptible beauty, you draw all hearts to yourself. Great people of our Fatherland: powerful, courageous, and close-knit; fearing enemies like anger and fate, to friends, they are as faithful as brothers. Two treasures they hold priceless and will never pass away, due to daring attempts in the battle to save them for us. They are our happiness and defense, known by all of their names: Freedom, Friendship are the two treasures and their Homeland is strong, yes! Calm, wise, dignified, growing and gaining strength, our people are not abusive, we are proud of our glory and that peace on earth reigns. Raising your banner high, with giant Russian strides; called to eternal friendship are people of all tribes and countries!

Здесь, подруги, к светлой цели мы одной тропою шли, Здесь, кaк в мирной колыбели, дни младенчества летели, годы юные безмятежно текли. Лишь сегодня мы (ныне) узнали, как мила родная сень о дне мечтали, но отныне днём печали будем звать разлуки день! Вовеки сердце не забудет тебе, заветный наш приют. Весь мир для нас чужбиной будет, а родимым домом институт, мирный институт. Пускай стрелою мчится время, мы будем каждый день и час душою благодарной с теми, кто здесь растил с любовь нас. В сердце детских лет хранимой, мать Отчизна, образ твой наш оплот непобедимый, новых сил родник живой! В рaзлуке кто из нaс зaбудет Невинных рaдостей приют? Нaм бурный свет чужбиной будет, Отчизной - мирный институт! Даль раскрыта перед нами, ждут нас воля, труд, борьба; к счастью разными путями нам велит идти судьба. Беспокойно жизни море, дни грядущего темны, но и в радости, и в горе будем дружбе мы верны. Что ж, подруги, нас тревожит? Мы росли одной семьёй, дружба в жизни нам поможет с честью путь пройти любой!

Here, friend, toward a bright goal we walked the same path, Here, as in a peaceful cradle, Childhood days flew by us youthful years flowing serenely away. Only today we (now) know, what a sweet, shady daydream it was; but now the sorrowful day is the coming day of separation! Our hearts will never forget You, who cherished and sheltered us. The whole world will be foreign to us, after our formative home institute, peaceful institute! Like an arrow rushing through time, we will, every day and hour, have grateful souls for those who reared us with love. In our youthful hearts is stored your image, O native mother, our stronghold is invincible, new strengths and living spring! In parting, who among us will forget this shelter for innocent joys? You will be for us light in any storm, Motherland – peaceful institute! Distance revealed before us, we will wait, work, struggle; fortunately, in the different ways Fate tells us to go. Restless, profound times, days of coming darkness, but in joy and in sorrow, in friendship we will correct. Well, friends, what frightens us? We grew up as one family; friendship in life will help us take any path with honor!

На рассвете юной жизни, в наши детские года, нас со всех концов Отчизны привела судьба. И сейчас под этом кровом мы сошлись в последний раз, к берегам влечет нас новым, новый путь открыт для нас. Refrain: И в душе горят желанье день за днём вперёд идти, чтобы силы, ум и знанье в дар Отчизне принести! Жизнь и труд на счастье людям властно нас к себе зовут, но всегда мы помнить будем наш родимый институт. Здесь-для нас пути начало, здесь созрел юный ум, сколько здесь нас посещало, чистых светлых мыслей, смелых дум! (Refrain) Пусть своё благословенье навсегда судьба пошлёт всем, кто здесь, под мирной сенью столько нам дарил забот! Вечной правды и науки вы для нас открыли свет! О, примите ж в час разлуки благодарности обет! Расставаясь с вами ныне, мы несёт к грядущим дням, как заветную святыню, всё, что внушали нам. Разгорится ваше пламя и зажжёт отвагой грудь, не закатными лучами озаряя трудный путь. Не страшны нам испытанья, будем мы вперёд идти, чтобы силы, ум и знанья вдар Отчизне принести! Завтра выйдем мы на волю, манит нас тербожный свет, там различная ждёт доля нас, подруги детских лет. Руки в руки на прощанье! Пусть летят чередой года, вечной дружбы обещанье будем, мы хранить всегда! Не погаснет в нас желанье день за днём вперёд идти, чтобы силы, ум и знанья в дар Отчизне принести!

At the dawn of young life in our childhood years, Fate led us here from all over the Fatherland. And now under the same roof we come together for the last time, leading us to the brink, opening a new way for us. Refrain: And souls burn with desire continuing day after day: that strength, wit, and knowledge may be gifts to bring to the Fatherland! Life and work call us authoritatively to happiness, but we will always remember our dear institute. Here, in the way we started, here, a ripe young mind, how here we had clean, bright ideas, bold thoughts! (Refrain) Let the blessing of Fate forever send out into the world we who are at peace here, where we studied so much! Eternal truth and science, you have opened for us the light! Oh, depart in this very hour with a vow of gratitude! Parting from you now, we carry for the coming days, as a treasured relic, everything that inspires us. Let your flame break forth and kindle the courage in our hearts, without the rays of sunset illuminating our challenging path. We are not afraid of this challenge, we shall go forward: strength, wit, and knowledge to bring as gifts to the Fatherland! Tomorrow we will leave, the signal light beckons us, waiting to share something new with us, Beyond our girlish years. Hand in hand, farewell! Let fly a string of years, make a promise of eternal friendship, Which we will keep forever! Let desire not fade in us continuing day after day: that strength, wit, and knowledge may be gifts to bring to the Fatherland!
