Our Heroes Deserve Their Fame (Soviet Songs in English)

Dedicated to my grandfather Ivan Anisimovich Anisimov, who fought in the Great Patriotic War. Though our heroes deserve their fame, We can barely recall their names. They were those who would bear the brunt When commanded to hold the front. Many years have already passed, Their renown will not turn to dust. Our memory will not fade if the living do reclaim This eternal flame Take a look at these boys of mine In this picture, they stand in file Young and brave, ever standing tall My dear friends that I still recall Some have barely turned twenty five But they’ve seen way too much in life Like a billow they rose, oh, what courage burned within When they took Berlin! There’s someone in each family Who has gone down in history. And this old faded photograph Speaks to us now on their behalf. It’s our duty to teach young men So they always look up to them. And new boys will stand tall once they have been shown the way. They shall not betray! RUSSIAN LYRICS От героев былых времен Не
