Имхо, единственная встретившаяся мне иноязычная версия гимна государства, так хорошо положенная на исходную музыку. А это что - нибудь да значит. Вообще, местами англицкий текст (не бейте сапогами!) мне кажется более удачнысм, чем русский. Особенно 2-й куплет, в нашей версии нет про уничтоженных захватчиков. :-)
Текст понравился ничуть не меньше русского оригинала. А исполнение то вообще выше всяческих похвал!!!!!
Вообще, переведенный текст получился даже лучше оригинала в чем-то. Что касается того, что либретто наивное- переводить дословно ни в коем случае нельзя! Переводить надо только в конкретном контексте. Это первое. Второе- если речь идет об английском языке, то ключевое слово здесь-полисемия, т.е многозначность слова. Таким образом одно и то же слово в разных контекстах может иметь диаметрально противоположные значения.
I am from US, i aint communist, but anthem is really amazing, its miracle, that we ve won cold war with Soviets, it was good time and pity that its over, but this anthem brings me back to good old days. THANK YOU, COMRADS, FOR NOSTALGY!!! VERY BIG AMERICAN THANKS!
Все же асли на русский переводить то другое произведение получится но и этот вариант класс! И империалистам так понятней! Тем более что гимн СССР должен быть понятен всем народам мира! Даешь перевод на остальные языки и такие же талантливые!
Жаль что потом мы слова изменили, а то со старым гимном мы бы в Холодной то выиграли! Но не все потеряно даешь старый гимн и Красную Армию которая как известно Всех Сильней! И ждем когда первый маршал в бой нас поведет!
Слышал что в своё время на западе были случаи, когда хоронили под советский гимн и красными знамёнами пока за приверженность к комунистическим идеям не стали преследовать. Интересно какой варианта тогда был. Хотя я думаю это был интернационал.
Our Fathers and Grandfathers who fought in the Great Patriotic War were truly heroes. I am still most movingly inspired by all that Stalinist propaganda, no kidding, but the truth is real and the glory of the achievements of the Soviet Union and the Soviet People, as the song goes "...will ever endure.
[and]... will Live through the Ages". I am from the United States and I am a Capitalist.
Послал файл заокеанским родичам. Получил ответ: Thanks for the Soviet National Anthem!!! Do you realize that Paul Robson, one of the greatest black-American singers ever, was vilified for singing that song. He was even run out of the US.
Большое спасибо за гимн и за сайт с обеих сторон Атлантики!
Unforgettable voice of the great Paul Robeson! The greatest Black revolutionary ever! Long live the friendship of world's workers, toilers, youth, all the oppressed, homeless, exploited.
Unbreakable Union of freeborn Republics,
Great Russia has welded forever to stand.
Created in struggle by will of the people,
United and mighty, our Soviet land!
CHORUS:
Sing to the Fatherland, home of the free,
Bulwark of peoples in brotherhood strong.
O Party of Lenin, the strength of the people,
To Communism's triumph lead us on!
Through tempests the sunrays of freedom have cheered us,
Along the new path where great Lenin did lead.
To a righteous cause he raised up the peoples,
Inspired them to labour and valourous deed.
CHORUS
In the victory of Communism's deathless ideal,
We see the future of our dear land.

He inspired us for labour and for acts of heroism
CHORUS
In the victory of the immortal ideas of Communism
We see the future of our country,
And to the Red banner of our glorious Fatherland
We shall always be selflessly loyal

Created by will of the peoples, long live
The united, mighty Soviet Union!
CHORUS:
Be renowned, our free Fatherland,
Reliable bulwark of the friendship of peoples!
Soviet flag, people's flag

Through tempests shined on us the sun of freedom,
And the great Lenin lit us the way.
Stalin brought us up -- on loyalty to the people,
He inspired us to labor and to heroism!
CHORUS:
Be renowned, our free Fatherland,
Reliable bulwark of the happiness of peoples!

We will sweep the vile aggressors from the way!
In battles we settle the fate of generations,
We will lead our Fatherland to glory!

Barbarian invaders we'll swiftly strike down.
In combat the fate of the future we'll settle,
Our country we'll lead to eternal renown!
CHORUS
Sing to our Motherland, Free and Undying,
Bulwark of Peoples in Bravery Strong!
Flag of the Soviets, Flag of the people,

Free children of a state unprecedented [until now],
Today we sing our proud song
About the most powerful party in the world,
About our greatest man ever.
CHORUS
Surrounded with glory, soldered by [our] will,
Grow stronger and live for eternity
The party of Lenin, the party of Stalin
Wise party of Bolsheviks!
You have created a country of the October,
The able Motherland of free people.
Our Soviet state stands as rock
Born by your power and truth.
CHORUS
Rotten breeds of lowly treachers
You wipe from your way with a formidable hand
You are the pride of the people, the wisdom of people,
the heart of the people and their conscience.
CHORUS
The sparking genius of Marx and Engels
Envisioned the future rise of the commune.
Lenin has outlined us the road to the freedom
And great Stalin is leading us through it.
"won the cold war" :) sounds interesting. I wouldn't ever say about the winning the cold war. There is no Soviet Union now, of course. But there is no United States as the hope, wish and the guarantee of freedom anymore. No difference ever was between the tyranny of the Soviet Republics and United States.
Haha. By the way, even Obama and Medvedev are of the same strain - soft and insincere.
