Непокоренный [Nepokorennyy] [English translation]

Baltic’s sky pressures with lead, the blockade is holding the city by throat.

Bronze Horseman and the angel with cross deliver ammunition for defenders.

Stone lions break away from their pedestals to go in to attack with soldiers.

Brutal revenge of unbending. Offensive. Downfall of darkness!

The unconquered – gone through the hell.

The unconquered – Leningrad, the hero!

The unconquered – for all times.

The unconquered – Peter’s city!

Life writes by child’s weak hand dates of death on a shroud of snow.

What would happen to you then? Would you be able to remain a human?

Not to give up and to not wail aloud killing for bread crumbs?

To keep the light of hope under rumblings of German’s bombing?

The unconquered – gone through the hell.

The unconquered – Leningrad, the hero!

The unconquered – for all times.

The unconquered – Peter’s city!

Blackness, brittle Ladoga’s ice, children drowning in water.

A metronome will beat out the sorrowful count of all who died in years of the blockade.

Nerves of the city – to the heart of the earth to get strength and revive itself upon spring.

Bronze Horseman flies towards victory as a bird that’s beyond oblivion.

The unconquered – gone through the hell.

The unconquered – Leningrad, the hero!

The unconquered – for all times.

The unconquered – Peter’s city!

Peter’s city!

The unconquered!
