This is the road to eternity
This is the road to holiness
This is the road to youthfulness
This is the road to joyfulness
Join the party of the dead,
Join the party of the dead,
Join the party of the dead,
Join the party of the dead —
It is the path,
The shortest path,
The shortest path,
The shortest path!
Russia will have greatness,
Russia will have beauty,
Russia will be wealthy,
Russia will be happy
Only in the context of outer space
Only in the context of eternity
Only in the context of the nation
Only in the context of memory —
It is the path,
The shortest path,
The shortest path,
The shortest path!
Red enthusiasts,
Pilots and astronauts
Foreign Intelligence Service,
Civil servants and children,
Join the party of the dead,
Join the party of the dead,
Join the party of the dead,
Join the party of the dead —
It is the path,
The shortest path,
The shortest path,
The shortest path!
