[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Mother Russia
How are you sleeping?
Middle winter cold winds blow
From the trees the snowflakes drifting
Swirling round like ghosts in the snow
[Verse 2]
Mother Russia
Poetry majestic
Tells the tale of a great empire
Turning round the old man's ponders
Reminiscing an age gone by
[Chorus 1]
Mother Russia
Dance of the Tsars
Hold up your heads
Be proud of what you are
Now it has come
Freedom at last
Turning the tides of history
And your past
[Chorus 2]
Mother Russia
Dance of the Tsars
Hold up your heads
Remember who you are
Can you release the anger, the grief?
Can you be happy now your people are free?
