Lyrics:
Victory Day, how far away from us it seemed,
Like a dwindling ember in a faded fire.
Burned and dusty, the road was longer than we'd dreamed
We hurried to this day thorugh times bleak and dire.
Chorus:
Now it's Victory Day
Smoke is in the air,
A holiday,
Temples littered with gray hair,
Glee we convey,
Through tears of joy, not despair. Victory Day! Victory Day! Victory Day!
Day and nighttime, at the hot furnaces we toiled,
Neither we nor our great motherland would tire.
Day and nighttime, our foes' malicious plans we foiled,
We hurried to this day thorugh times bleak and dire.
Chorus
Hello, Mother, we have fought hard for all we're worth,
Yet still we had some of our comrades expire…
Half of Europe, oh we have stridden half the Earth,
We hurried to this day thorugh times bleak and dire.
Chorus
