RUSSIAN LYRICS

1. Nivy I gory tvoi volshebny, Rodina,
Solntse i more tvoi tselebny, Rodina.
Etu zemlju my sohranym 
I vnukam ostavim tsvetuczij, kak sad, Krym,
Tsvetuczij, kak sad, Krym!

2. Zori svobody tebja sogreli, Rodina,
Bratja-narody tebja vospeli, Rodina.
Etu zemlju my sohranym 
I vmestje, krymchanje, proslavym v vekah Krym,
Proslavym v vekah Krym!
Slavsja, Krym!

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

1. Your cornfields and your mountains are enchanting, Motherland,
Your sun and your sea are curative, Motherland.
We'll save this land
And pass to our grandsons like a garden flourishing Crimea,
Like a garden flourishing Crimea!

2. The dawns of freedom have warmed you, Motherland,
The people-brothers have praised you, Motherland.
We'll save this land
And will together, the Crimeans, glorify Crimea in the centuries,
Glorify Crimea in the centuries!
Be glorious, the Crimea!
