Volga [English translation]

Volga, into the shore of it ride

Ivan and Katjusha

The road is long

Volga, save true love

Show its justice

To the safety it leads

Now Ivan whips the horse into run,

And the Tsar's men are on their heels

And into the scent of little Katja's hair

Mixes fear so immeasurable.

Volga, Volga, love or death

Fear and persecution

Ohohohoho - hey!

Volga, Volga wild and free

you cannot be captured

Ahahahaha

Volga, Volga, love or death

Fear and persecution

Ohohohoho - hey!

Volga, Volga, show us the Caspian,

There we will be safe

Ahahahaha

Volga, just waiting for the night

Ivan and Katjusha

Exhausted

Volga, the horse already panting

Must they give up?

Never!

They would never see the sea

So Ivan turns to the attackers

And into the mud of Volga mixes blood

The stream carries it to the Caspian

Volga, Volga, love or death

Fear and persecution

Ohohohoho - hey!

Volga, Volga wild and free

You cannot be caged

Ahahahaha - hey!

Hey Volga, lalalalalalala

Lalalalalalala

Ohohohoho - hey!

Hey Volga, lalalalalalala

Lalalalalalala

Ahahahaha

A-a-a...

Volga, Volga, love or death

Fear and persecution

Ohohohoho

Volga, Volga wild and free

You cannot be captured

Ahahahaha

Volga, Volga...

If we would never see the sea,

Would you still stay next to me then?

If we would never see the sea,

until the end

I'll always be yours.

Volga, Volga, love or death

Fear and persecution

Ohohohoho - hey!

Volga, Volga wild and free

You cannot be captured

Ahahahaha - hey!

Volga, Volga, love or death

Fear and persecution

Ohohohoho - hey!

Volga, Volga wild and free

You cannot be captured

Ahahahaha - hey!
