Lyrics for Motherland (1993)



I see my motherland rising up from its knees
I see my motherland rising from the ashes
I hear my great motherland singing
My motherland is once more rising up from its knees

My epic nation is unbending its back
Our wrathful power is moving apart the walls
The sun calls us to follow it on campaign
Against deadly cold, against pitch-black night

I see my motherland rising up from its knees
I see my motherland rising up with fury and pride
I hear my great motherland singing
My motherland is once more rising up from its knees

My mighty nation throws off its shackles
The dawn blazes bright and hot in our hearts
Our breath thaws and melts the ice
The earth blooms under our feet

I see my motherland rising up from its knees
I see my motherland rising from the ashes
I hear my Soviet motherland singing
My motherland is once more rising up from its knees

My epic nation is unbending its back
Our wrathful power is moving apart the walls
The sun calls us to follow it on campaign
Against deadly cold, against pitch-black night

I see my motherland rising up from its knees
I see my motherland rising from the ashes
My motherland fiercely blazes inside me
I hear my Soviet motherland singing

Motherland
Motherland
Motherland
