🇷🇺#RussiaDay About the Motherland What do the weeping birches sing of, A melody full of light and tears? Of Motherland they sing, of Motherland only. What do wintering birds long for From beyond the cold granite borders? For Motherland they long, for Motherland only. In moments of sadness, in time of adversity Who shall caress us and who shall save us? Motherland, Motherland only. In bitter frost whom shall we warm, And in difficult time whom shall we support (take pity upon)? Motherland, dear Motherland only. When we depart for interstellar flight, What do our earthly hearts sing of? Of Motherland they sing, of Motherland only. We live in the name of goodness and love, And the best songs of yours and mine Are of Motherland, of Motherland only. Under scorching sun and in heavy snow My thoughts and my prayers Are always with Motherland, With Motherland only. Lyrics by Rasul Gamzatov
