The Anthem of Nizhny Novgorod Region — the song "Native Expanses with the Volga and the Oka" — lyrics by Shamshurin Valeriy Anatolevich
|
Native expanses with the Volga and the Oka,
The gray towers of the ancient kremlin, Forever dear to my heart has become My Nizhny Novgorod land. Forever dear to my heart has become My Nizhny Novgorod land. In a grim hour you rang out your bells, Sharing one fate with the Fatherland, You raised Minin for Russia's sake, My Nizhny Novgorod land. You raised Minin for Russia's sake, My Nizhny Novgorod land. The cities and the fields call out, The rustling forests and the feathergrass waves. Your sacred shrines shall live forever, My Nizhny Novgorod land. Your sacred shrines shall live forever, My Nizhny Novgorod land. So flourish in your deeds and strength, Not hiding the breadth of your soul. To our joy, for the good of all Russia, My Nizhny Novgorod land. To our joy, for the good of all Russia, My Nizhny Novgorod land. |
