TRANSLATION OF THE LYRICS:
Where does the Motherland begin?
It begins with a picture in your primer,
It begins with good and faithful comrades
Living in the neighboring yard.
Or maybe it begins
With the song that our mother sang to us,
With the fact that in any challenges
No one can take away from us.
Where does the Motherland begin...
It begins with the cherished bench at the gate,
It begins with the same birch that grows
In the field, bending under the wind.
Or maybe it begins
With the spring song of the starling
And with this country road,
Which has no end in sight.
Where does the Motherland begin...
It begins with windows glowing in the distance,
It begins with an old father’s budenovka*,
Which we found somewhere in the closet.
Or maybe it begins
With the sound of wagon wheels,
And with the oath that you took to her
In your heart in your youth.
* Budenovka - is a distinctive type of hat, an archetypal part of the Communist military uniforms of the Russian Civil War following the Russian revolution (1917–1922) and later conflicts. Its official name was the “broadcloth helmet“. It was named after Red Army cavalry commander Semyon Budyonny. It is a soft, woolen hat that covers the ears and neck. The cap features a peak and folded earflaps that can be buttoned under the chin.
ORIGINAL RUSSIAN LYRICS:
С чего начинается Родина?
С картинки в твоем букваре,
С хороших и верных товарищей,
Живущих в соседнем дворе,
А может она начинается
С той песни, что пела нам мать,
С того, что в любых испытаниях
У нас никому не отнять.
С чего начинается Родина...
С заветной скамьи у ворот,
С той самой березки что во поле
Под ветром склоняясь, растет.
А может она начинается
С весенней запевки скворца
И с этой дороги проселочной,
Которой не видно конца.
С чего начинается Родина...
С окошек горящих вдали,
Со старой отцовской буденновки,
Что где - то в шкафу мы нашли,
А может она начинается
Со стука вагонных колес,
И с клятвы, которую в юности
Ты ей в своем сердце принес.
