Not a Step Back

From the fortress once called tsaritsyn
Lost to white armies but regained by command of comrade stalin, hero of the soviet union
We stand at the end of all war
Standing even while we crawl below ruins where our ancestors prayed
We have no choice but fight
We have no chance to retreat
There is only victory or death

Not a step back
Not a step back
ни шary нaзaд
ни шary нaзaд

When the bombs came and destroyed our city
We had already lost
But all who lived stayed to fight
And all who could came to join
To drive the wolves from our gate
Our hares in hiding sealed their fate
Broke them like sticks
Never to cede mamayev kurgan
To defend other cities other homes

Not a step back
Not a step back
