http://donluca.net/episode-player/105/march-of-the-soviet-tankmen.mp3

March of the Soviet Tankmen (Russian: Марш советских танкистов, Marsh Sovetskikh Tankistov) is a military march composed in 1939 by the Pokrass brothers with lyrics by Laskin. It was commonly used as a Soviet propaganda song in World War II. The origin of the song was the movie “Tractorists” (1939).

[1]

The armor is hard and our tanks are fast
And our men are full of courage
The Soviet tankmen are ready for action—
Sons of their Great Motherland.

Refrain:

Thundering with fire, glinting with steel,
The tanks will begin a harsh campaign
When we’re called to battle by Comrade Stalin
And the First Marshal will lead us in this battle!

[2]

In keeping our country, we guard
The work of factories and farms
By power of our gun turrets
By our fastness and pressure of fire.

[Refrain]

[3]

Let’s enemy, who hidden in ambush, remember
We watch for him, we are on guard.
We want not a foot of foreign land,
But we will not give up an inch of our own land.

[Refrain]

[4]

But if the enemy attacks us,
We will beat him everywhere,
Tank drivers will start engines
And drive-by forests, mountains and even on water.

[Refrain]
