The legends of Lake Chud, The great feats of antiquity, Are once again resurrected By the liberators of Pskov! The heroic forefathers are welcoming Their valiant descendants Here, where amidst the ashes and debris, Crumpling the standards in their final hour, The German savages roared. Pskov welcomes its warriors joyfully, Upholding its ancient tradition, And Moscow crowns them with glory For their new military feat!
