It has shaken, has shaken, has stirred The Orthodox, the Orthodox Quiet Don 𝄆 And everywhere [it flowed], it responded To the call of liberty. 𝄇 II The steppe of Don glimmers, glimmers with green The ripples on the fields shine, shine with gold 𝄆 And from the expanses resounds, so pleasant to the ear, The call of liberty. 𝄇 III Glory, Glory to thee, Don, and now, in our years, For the memory, in the memory of the free times of old, 𝄆 In times of adversity, your sons will preserve The honour of liberty. 𝄇</poem> |
