Lyrics

Russian original^[5]	Romanization of Russian	English translation
Если на Отчизну нагрянет беда, Позовёт солдата труба. Армия моя, ты на страже всегда! Ты – моя любовь и судьба! Припев: Обыкновенная, судьба нелёгкая военная. Любовь суровая, но верная. Готовы мы на ратный труд. Мы все испытаны ни раз, ни два боями-маршами. Мы от солдата и до маршала – одна семья! Наш Октябрь с нами в походном строю! С нами песни красных бойцов, Первый день войны, и победный салют, И судьба погибших отцов… Припев Мчатся наши годы, Но жизнь молода! И поёт как прежде труба. Армия моя, ты на страже всегда! Ты – моя любовь и судьба! Припев	Yesli na Otchiznu nagryanet beda, Pozovyot soldata truba, Armiya moya, ty na strazhe vsegda! Ty – moya lyubovy i sudyba! Pripev: Obyknovennaya, sud'ba nelyogkaya voyennaya. Lyubov' surovaya, no vernaya. Gotovy my na ratnyy trud. My vse ispytany ni raz, ni dva boyami-marshami. My ot soldata i do marshala – odna sem'ya! Nash Oktyabr' s nami v pokhodnom stroyu! S nami pesni krasnikh boytsov. Pervyy den' voyny, i pobednyy salyut, I sud'ba pogibshikh ottsov… Pripev Mchatsya nashi gody, No zhizn' moloda! I poyot kak prezhde truba. Armiya moya, ty na strazhe vsegda! Ty – moya lyubovy i sud'ba! Pripev	If trouble suddenly breaks out in the Motherland, A soldier will sound the trumpet My army — forever you guard the frontier! You, my heart, and fate above all! Chorus: A weight upon destiny for those in the military Love is harsh but true as true can be We're all ready for military service We all! We all have seen our share of battle marches and declare! We, from the soldier to the marshal, are all one family! Our October is with us in marching formation! With us are the songs of the Red soldiers, the first day of the war and the victory fireworks, And the history of our fallen fathers… Chorus Life remains young as we dash through the years The trumpets never cease their call My army – you're always on guard! You, my heart, and fate above all! Chorus:
