TRANSLATION OF THE LYRICS:

Where the air is wounded by the flight of a projectile,
Where the field is pitted with bombs all around,
For the Russian land, for the honor of Leningrad
The Marine Corps is fighting the enemy.

The grass in the glade is flattened with iron,
Behind the tank, the infantry crawls along the ground.
In a broken trench, the helmsman from the "Marat"
Left alone on the coastal cliff.

And the helmsman from the "Marat" fights to death
Like a banner, raising his peakless cap.
Hitting the enemy with the last grenade,
He accepts death in an unequal battle.

But a company is hurrying towards the tanks,
And the canпons roll forward under the bullets.
Friends-gunners, marines -
Baltic people, iron people!

ORIGINAL RUSSIAN LYRICS:

Где воздух изранен полётом снаряда,
Где бомбами поле изрыто кругом,
За русскую землю, за честь Ленинграда
Морская пехота дерётся с врагом.

Трава на поляне железом примята,
За танком пехота ползет по земле.
В разбитом окопе штурвальный с "Марата"
Остался один на прибрежной скале.

И насмерть дерётся штурвальный с "Марата"
Как знамя, подняв бескозырку свою.
Врага поражая последней гранатой,
Он смерть принимает в неравном бою.

Но танкам навстречу торопится рота,
И пушки под пулями катят вперед.
Друзья-комендоры, морская пехота,
Балтийские люди, железный народ!
