Through the Valleys and over Hillsides (The Partisan Song)
Song of the Partisans

Through the winter's cold and famine,
from the fields and from the towns
at the call of Comrade Lenin,
there arose the Partisans.
At the call of Comrade Lenin,
there arose the Partisans.


To the East swept forward the Partisans
through the swamps and on to the heights,
to attack and take Primorye,
the last stronghold of the Whites.
To attack and take Primorye,
the last stronghold of the Whites.


Battle-scarred and faded banners
fluttered bravely on before,
but far deeper was the crimson
of the recent wounds they bore.
But far deeper was the crimson
of the recent wounds they bore.


That great day will ne'er be forgotten,
nor will lose its high renown,
when the Partisan Red-fighters
broke through and took the town.
When the Partisan Red-fighters
broke through and took the town.


They destroyed the White Guard forces
and to hell the bandits they hurled,
and on the Pacific Ocean
the workers' flag unfurled.
And on the Pacific Ocean
the workers' flag unfurled.


Though the valleys and over hillsides,
our divison did go forth.
To capture the Primorye,
stronghold of the White Army.
To capture the Primorye,
stronghold of the White Army.


The banners were they were then filled,
by the red of the last wounds.
Went the squadrons so intrepid,
of the Amur partisans.
Went the squadrons so intrepid,
of the Amur partisans.


Their days of fame will not cease,
and their fame will never dim.
The troops of the partisans,
captured cities very strong.
The troops of the partisans,
captured cities very strong.


They will all remain as legends,
like the sparkling of the fire.
The storming nights of Spassk,
the days of Volavecha. [1]
The storming nights of Spassk,
the days of Volavecha.


We defeated the atamans,
we dispersed the volvodes.
At the shores of the Pacific,
we then ended our campaigns.
At the shores of the Pacific,
we then ended our campaigns.
