Anthem
Since July 14, 1995, the official anthem of Moscow has been the Soviet song "Moya Moskva."
| “ | Я по свету немало хаживал
Жил в землянке, в окопах, в тайге, Похоронен был дважды заживо, Знал разлуку, любил в тоске. Но Москвою привык я гордиться И везде повторял я слова: Дорогая моя столица, Золотая моя Москва! Я люблю подмосковные рощи И мосты над твоею рекой, Я люблю твою Красную площадь И кремлевских курантов бой. В городах и далеких станицах О тебе не умолкнет молва, Дорогая моя столица, Золотая моя Москва! Мы запомним суровую осень, Скрежет танков и отблеск штыков, И в веках будут жить двадцать восемь Самых храбрых твоих сынов. И врагу никогда не добиться, Чтоб склонилась твоя голова, Дорогая моя столица, Золотая моя Москва! |
