Song of the Partisans lyrics

Through the winter's cold and famine,

from the fields and from the towns

at the call of Comrade Lenin,

there arose the Partisans.

To the East swept forward the Partisans

through the swamps and on to the heights,

to attack and take Primorye,

the last stronghold of the Whites.

Battle-scarred and faded banners

fluttered bravely on before,

but far deeper was the crimson

of the recent wounds they bore.

That great day will ne'er be forgotten,

nor will lose its high renown,

when the Partisan Red-fighters

broke through and took the town.

They destroyed the White Guard forces

and to hell the bandits they hurled,

and on the Pacific Ocean

the workers' flag unfurled.
