History [edit]

The melody gained popularity in Russia and bordering countries during the First World War, when the Russian soldiers left their homes and were accompanied past the music of the march. It was performed also during parade of seven November 1941 on the Ruby Foursquare later which soldiers went straight to fight in the Battle of Moscow.^[ii] This march was also used as an unofficial anthem of Admiral Kolchak's White Army.

It was commonly believed that prior to its use in the award-winning 1957 motion picture The Cranes Are Flying, the song was banned in the Soviet Matrimony because of its lyrics about banned subjects, even so the melody originally lacked lyrics and in that location exist numerous competing versions written in dissimilar historical periods and about different subjects. The march was certainly published during the Soviet times as early as in 1929, though without the lyrics,^[3] and there are conflicting reports of it being used during the iconic Nov 7 parade in 1941 (ironically, conducted by Agapkin himself).^[four] The song was originally published past Zimmerman Production Clan around 1912.^[5] The march was published in an official collection of music for Carmine Army orchestras,^[6] and it was recorded in the early 1940s by a military orchestra under the conductor Ivan Petrov (1906–1975), but different lyrics were then used. Other lyrics are now normally sung by the Blood-red Regular army choir.

Subsequently, several Russian and Shine composers have written lyrics for the music. During the Second World War in German-occupied Poland, an adapted "underground" version of the vocal, Rozszumiały się wierzby płaczące ("Weeping Willows Began to Hum"), became pop in the Polish resistance and was based on lyrics by Roman Ślęzak.^{[ citation needed ]}

Russian original[nine] [10]	Romanized Russian script	English translation
Этот марш не смолкал на перронах Когда враг заслонял горизонт. С ним отцов наших в дымных вагонах Поезда увозили на фронт. Он Москву отстоял в сорок первом, В сорок пятом шагал на Берлин, Он c солдатом прошёл до Победы По дорогам нелёгких годин. И если в поход Страна позовёт, За край наш родной Мы все пойдём в священный бой! Шумят в полях хлеба. Шагает Отчизна моя К высотам счастья, Сквозь все ненастья, Дорогой мира и труда.	Etot marsh ne smolkal na perronakh Kogda vrag zaslonyal gorizont. S nim ottsov nashikh v dymnykh vagonakh Poyezda uvozili na forepart. On Moskvu otstoyal five sorok pervom, V sorok pyatom shagal na Berlin, On s soldatom proshyol exercise pobedy Po dorogam nelyogkikh godin. I yesli v pokhod strana pozovyot, Za kray nash rodnoy My vse poydyom v svyashchennyy boy! Shumyat five polyakh khleba. Shagayet otchizna moya K vysotam schast'ya, Skvoz' vse nenast'ya, Dorogoy mira i truda.	This march on the platforms wasn't silent When the foe clouded the horizon . our fathers in smoking railcars with it Were by trains brought to the front. He preserved Moscow in '41, In '45 he marched on Berlin. He accompanied the soldier to victory Along the roads of tough years. And if the state Calleth us on a campaign For our native land We all shall march to sacred war! Wheat rustleth in the fields, My Fatherland marcheth To the heights of joy Through all misfortunes On the path of peace and labour.

1984 version [edit]

Another version of the lyrics was written by Vladimir Lazarev in 1984 and has gained the popularity since the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991 considering of the slower tempo and the added homo fragility cistron ("Goodbye, fatherland, remember united states of america, … … not all of u.s.a. will come back. ...").^[eleven]

Russian original[11]	Romanized Russian script	English translation
Наступает минута прощания, Ты глядишь мне тревожно в глаза, И ловлю я родное дыхание, А вдали уже дышит гроза. Дрогнул воздух туманный и синий, И тревога коснулась висков, И зовёт нас на подвиг Россия, Веет ветром от шага полков. Прощай, отчий край, Ты нас вспоминай, Прощай, милый взгляд, Прости-прощай, прости-прощай. Прощай, отчий край, Ты нас вспоминай, Прощай, милый взгляд, Не все из нас придут назад. Летят, летят года, Уходят во мглу поезда, А в них — солдаты. И в небе тёмном, Горит солдатская звезда.	Nastupayet minuta proshchaniya, Ty glyadish' mne trevozhno v glaza, I lovlyu ya rodnoye dykhaniye, A vdali uzhe dyshit groza. Drognul vozdukh tumannyy i siniy, I trevoga kosnulas' viskov, I zovyot nas na podvig Rossiya, Veyet vetrom ot shaga polkov. Proshchay, otchiy kray, Ty nas vspominay, Proshchay, milyy vzglyad, Prosti-proshchay, prosti-proshchay. Proshchay, otchiy kray, Ty nas vspominay, Proshchay, milyy vzglyad, Ne vse iz nas pridut nazad. Letyat, letyat goda, Ukhodyat vo mglu poyezda, A five nikh — soldaty. I five nebe tyomnom, Gorit soldatskaya zvezda	The minute of farewell beginneth, Thou look'st into my eyes with anxiety. I catch thy dearest breath, A storm is forming far abroad already. The bluish, misty air is trembling, Anxiety toucheth my temples. Russia calleth the states for heroic deeds, One can feel the wind of the marching regiments. Farewell, homeland, Remember us. Good day, familiar faces, Forgiving adieu, forgiving farewell. Farewell, homeland, Remember usa. Cheerio, o dear gaze, Not all of us will come back. Fly, fly through the years, Trains disappear in the darkness. In them are soldiers, And in the dark sky Shineth the soldier'south star.

A White Army version of the march, written by Andrei Mingalyov, was created later on the dissolution of the Soviet Union.^[12]

Russian original[thirteen]	Romanized Russian script	English translation
На просторах бескрайних и синих, Где берёзы любуются Цной, В самом сердце великой России Ты раскинулся, край наш родной. Полыхали зловеще зарницы, Но в историю грозных веков Ты вписал своей славы страницы, Честь, свободу храня от оков. Припев: Тамбовский наш край, В веках процветай! Ты славен людьми, Храни, Господь, тебя, храни! И пусть летят года, Ты с нами, наш край, навсегда. Здесь родились мы, И с этим краем У нас на всех одна судьба. Здесь родились мы, И с этим краем У нас на всех одна судьба. Припев С пульсом Родины шаг свой сверяя, Край любимый наш смотрит вперёд, Славу верных сынов умножая, Твёрдой поступью к счастью идёт. Пусть заметнее будут успехи, Хорошеет любимый наш край, На земле благодатной во веки Цветом яблонь своих расцветай. Припев	Na prostorakh beskraynikh i sinikh, Gde beryozy lyubuyutsya Cnoy, V samom serdtse velikoy Rossii Ty raskinulsya, kray nash rodnoy. Polykhali zloveshche zarnitsy, No v istoriyu groznykh vekov Ty vpisal svoyey slavy stranitsy, Breast', svobodu khranya ot okov. Pripev: Tambovskiy nash kray, V vekakh protsvetay! Ty slaven lyud'mi, Khrani, Gospod', tebya, hrani! I pust' letyat goda, Ty southward nami, nash kray, navsegda. Zdes' rodilis' my, I southward etim krayem U nas na vsekh odna sud'ba. Zdes' rodilis' my, I south etim krayem U nas na vsekh odna sud'ba. Pripev S pul'som Rodiny shag svoy sveryaya, Kray lyubimyy nash smotrit vperyod, Slavu vernykh synov umnozhaya, Tvyordoy postul'yu chiliad schast'yu idyot. Pust' zametneye budut uspehi, Khorosheyet lyubimyy nash kray, Na zemle blagodatnoy vo veki Tsvetom yablon' svoikh rastsvetay. Pripev	In the surface area of endless and blue, Where birches are admired by Tsna, In the heart of the peachy Russia Thou art spread; our home region. Oestrus-lightnings blaze ominously, But in thy history of terrible centuries Thou art written the pages of thy glory, Continue out of the shackles honour and freedom. Chorus: Our Tambov Region, Rise in the centuries! Thou art the glory by thy people, The Lord will bless and save thee! Let the years fly, Thou art with united states, our region, forever. From there were are born, And with this region We have one destiny. From there we are born, And with this region We have one destiny. Chorus Checking thy step with the pulse of the Motherland, Our lovely region looketh forward, Multiply the celebrity of thy true-blue sons, Stepping firmly towards happiness. Let success be more than noticeable, Our beloved region increaseth in beauty, On a graceful land forever Blossom with the colour of thine apple trees. Chorus

My Comrade in Death Throes [edit]

The tune of the vocal is also used for the poem My Comrade in Death Throes. Here is a sample verse:

Ты не плачь, не стони, ты не маленький,

Ты не ранен, ты просто убит.

Дай на память сниму с тебя валенки,

Нам еще наступать предстоит.

Weep non, moan not, thou art a infant not,

Thou art wounded not, g art killed merely.

Let me take off thy valenki,

Nosotros are yet to delve into attack.

It was written in December 1944 by Ion Degen, a Second World War tank ace.^{[14] [15]}

Vapaa Venäjä [edit]

Another version of the song is Vapaa Venäjä, which was equanimous by the Finnish Red Guards to serve as a marching song for them.
