My Army

"My Army" (Russian: Армия моя) is a Soviet marching song written in the Russian language, performed by the Alexandrov Ensemble. The lyrics were written by Soviet musician and composer Rafael Moritsovich Plaksin (Russian: Рафаэль Морицович Плаксин).^[1][2][3] The music was composed by prolific Soviet composer Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Abramov (Russian: Александр Александрович Абрамов), in 1970.

Lyrics

Cyrillic/Russian^[5]	Transliteration	English
1. Если на Отчизну нагрянет беда, Позовёт солдата труба. Армия моя, ты на страже всегда! Ты - моя любовь и судьба! Припев: Обыкновенная, судьба нелёгкая военная. Любовь суровая, но верная. Готовы мы на ратный труд. Мы все испытаны ни раз, ни два боями-маршами. Мы от солдата и до маршала - одна семья! 2. Наш Октябрь с нами в походном строю! С нами песни красных бойцов, Первый день войны, и победный салют, И судьба погибших отцов... Припев 3. Мчатся наши годы, Но жизнь молода! И поёт как прежде труба. Армия моя, ты на страже всегда! Ты - моя любовь и судьба! Припев	1. Yesli na Otchiznu nagryanet beda, Pozovyot soldata truba, Armiya moya, ty na strazhe vsegda! Ty - moya lyubov' i sud'ba Pripev: Obyknovennaya, sud'ba nelyogkaya voyennaya. Lyubov' surovaya, no vernaya. Gotovy my na ratnyj trud. My vse ispytany ni raz, ni dva boyami-marshami. My ot soldata i do marshala - odna sem'ya! 2. Nash Oktyabr' s nami v pohodnom stroyu! S nami pesni krasnikh boitsov. Pervyj den' voiny, i pobednyj salyut, I sud'ba pogibshikh otsov... Pripev 3. Mchatsya nashi gody, No zhizn' moloda! I poyot kak prezhde truba. Armiya moya, ty na strazhe vsegda! Ty - moya lyubov' i sud'ba! Pripev	1. If trouble suddenly breaks out in the Motherland, A soldier will sound the trumpet My army — forever you guard the frontier! You, my heart, and fate above all! Refrain: A weight upon destiny for those in the military Love is harsh but true as true can be We're all ready for military service We all! We all have seen our share, Our share of battle marches and declare! We, from the soldier to the marshal, are all one family 2. Our October with us in marching formation! With our songs about Red soldiers The first day of the war and the victory fireworks And the fate of our dead fathers... Refrain 3. Life remains young as we dash through the years The trumpets never cease their call My army — you're always on guard! You, my heart, and fate above all! Refrain
