"We are the army of the people" at the Victory Day Military Parade, Moscow May 9th 2015
This song, performed right before the honored guests' seats during the parade finale was clearly meant as a message, IMO. I surely hope that it will be understood. Otherwise, there really will be another war.
We stand on duty in platoons and companies
Immortal like fire. Firm like granite.
We are the army of the country.
We are the army of the people.
Our great feat is preserved in history.
Not for nothing the banner shines red in fate.
Not for nothing the country trusts us.
The sacred words "Moscow is behind us!"
We remember them since Borodino.
The sacred words "Moscow is behind us!"
We remember them since Borodino.
They should not try to scare us or boast haughtily,
They should not threaten us and play with fire again.
After all, if the enemy would dare to test our strength,
We will wean him from doing it for good.
Not for nothing the banner shines red in fate.
Not for nothing the country trusts us.
The sacred words "Moscow is behind us!"
We remember them since Borodino.
The sacred words "Moscow is behind us!"
We remember them since Borodino.
