A couple things to note:
- I’ve given you two versions of Kombinatsia’s “American Boy.” I encourage you to watch the one linked from Rutube.ru, if only for its fabulous early 90s costumes and dancing.
- English lyrics for Marina Korol’s “Russia, I’m a Patriot”:
“Our dear guests from abroad, welcome to our mighty country! Welcome to Russia!
Ah, these Russian steppes and fields
Nothing native is unimportant to me
Our Russia is so loved by everyone
It’s the strongest country!
Ah, how I love our Russia
I send the sanctions far away
Let the whole people dance a Russian dance
And I’ll sing a song to this dance
Oh, you are Russia, my Russia
How good that you’re mine
This bear, a balalaika, and vodka
I’m a patriot, your patriot!
A region rich with oil and gas
This is my native Russia
How many people live here in friendship
Let other countries follow our example
Oh, you are Russia, my Russia
How good that you’re mine
This bear, a balalaika, and vodka
I’m a patriot, your patriot!
- I haven’t given you the lyrics for the Bulgarian Women’s Choir’s performance. Part of what’s interesting about this one is that understanding the lyrics is arguably unnecessary.
