Boldly we wage the fight,
For the power of the Soviets,
And as one we’ll die,
Fighting for that.
Смело мы в бой пойдем
За власть Советов
И как один умрем
В борьбе за это.
When I was young, almost nobody took this old revolutionary song seriously anymore. During breaks in school (when the teacher was out of earshot) we would sometimes sing: “Boldly we wage the fight/For soup with potatoes/And will kill the cook/With a cafeteria spoon.”
