8. Day of Victory!

Day of Victory! Oh, how far away it seemed!
Like a dying ember, hope once hardly gleamed.
Scorched and choking, dusty, weary miles were
those!
We all did our best to bring our Victory close.
Chorus:
Oh, that Day of Victory!
Cordite in the air.
Day so youthful,
Silver threads in golden hair.
Day of beauty,
Tears of joy gleamed everywhere.
Day of Victory!
Day of Victory!
Day of Victory!
День Победы, как он был от нас далёк,
Как в костре потухшем таял уголёк.
Были вёрсты, обгорелые, в пыли, —
Этот день мы приближали, как могли.
Припев:
Этот День Победы
Порохом пропах,
Это праздник
С сединою на висках.
Это радость
Со слезами на глазах.
День Победы!
День Победы!
День Победы!
