Volgograd

My city! You are great and glorious!
Human love is boundless for you.
On the globe of the earth you are, I am sure, the chief.
In his untainted, proud destiny.
Your enemies were going to destroy you.
Making fun of you with all the power of fire,
But you resisted. And not the power of God.
I saved you, but your strength.
The star on your chest is raging with will,
The one that lived in you from birth.
Shall I forget bitterness, sorrow and pain,
What a soldier's victory.
I stand level with your beauty.
At the edge, where the Volga flows easily,
And I see a face, simple in Russian,
Looking into the world far, far away +

Vasily Litvinov,
Participant of WWII.
