00:00:03.100 --> 00:00:10.000
Today with a song full of gladness
We hold up the banner of red

00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:16.180
And enter our spacious new school,
Our sunlit and radiant home.

00:00:17.100 --> 00:00:23.100
We're the children of plow fields and factories,
The pathway ahead shows up clear.

00:00:23.100 --> 00:00:36.100
Thank you, O country of our birth,
For the happiness of childhood.

00:00:37.100 --> 00:00:43.200
We'll stand by the maps and the blackboards,
And run into the glittering room.

00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:49.180
We'll study so hard that Stalin
Will tell us: You get an A.

00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:57.000
We're the children of plow fields and factories,
The pathway ahead shows up clear.

00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:09.250
Thank you, O country of our birth,
For the happiness of childhood.

00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:17.100
We'll find out about distant countries,
We'll study the make up of dirt.

00:01:17.100 --> 00:01:23.060
And we will grow up to be captains,
Steering our ships through the seas.

00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:30.100
We'll meet up with tempests, and will say:
Here too the path ahead is clear,

00:01:30.100 --> 00:01:42.040
Thank you, O country of our birth,
For the happiness of childhood.

00:01:43.100 --> 00:01:50.000
Heroes will be our example,
As we grow up valiantly.

00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:55.270
We'll grow up, and with a calm smile
Fly into the stratosphere.

00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:03.000
Fly up, look back and will say:
Here too the path ahead is clear,

00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:16.000
Thank you, O country of our birth,
For the happiness of childhood!

00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:22.270
We will never let the enemy
Sunder the banner of October,

00:02:22.270 --> 00:02:29.100
We will grow to be Bolsheviks
Prepared to fight new battles.

00:02:30.100 --> 00:02:37.09
We will go out on reconnaissance and say:
Here too the path ahead is clear,

00:02:37.09 --> 00:02:50.250
hank you, O country of our birth,
For the happiness of childhood!
