Original

Вставайте, люди русские,
На славный бой, на смертный бой!
Вставайте, люди вольные,
За нашу землю честную!

Живым бойцам — почёт и честь
А мёртвым — слава вечная.
За отчий дом, за русский край
Вставайте, люди русские!

На родной Руси, на родной Руси
Не бывать врагу!
Поднимайся, встань,
Мать родная, Русь!

Translation

Arise, Russian people,
On a glorious battle, to the death battle!
Arise, free people,
For our honest land!
Honor for alive soldiers
And thank eternal for dead.
For father's house, for the Russian region
Arise, Russian people!
To the native Russia, to the native Russia
Won't come the enemy!
Get up, stand up,
Mother dear, Russia!
