[Verse 1] Metal creaks — the titan moves, In paint of blood and shade of night. Red-hot blaze, and blackened smoke, Stalingrad — a house of fire and fight. She sails like storm through fog and veil, Three great guns — thunder and aim. From afar the fire flies, Her strike is a sea-born flame. [Chorus] Слухай рик — Сталінград іде! (Hear the roar — Stalingrad draws near!) Залп у ніч, і страх гряде. (A salvo at night — and terror’s here.) Фарбою — кров, сталлю — злість, (Her paint is blood, her soul is steel,) Це не крейсер — це звір і злість! (This ain’t a cruiser — it’s wrath made real!) [Verse 2] She will not flinch, she will not flee, She carries foes to destiny. A deadly shot, sharp as a blade, And the enemy fleet — in flames is laid. Her eyes are like twin burning stars, Each strike could be the end for me. Even storms fall silent when She hits her mark with no regret again. [Chorus 2] В червонім і чорнім — її шлях, (In red and black she carves her way,) Гримлять гармати, палає страх. (Cannons thunder, fear obeys.) І в кожнім залпі — крик війни, (Each volley screams the song of war,) Сталінград — володар хвиль. (Stalingrad — the sea’s dark lord.) [Bridge] No mercy, no retreat or plea — Her thunder strikes betrayal’s fleet. The sea groans low, the sky’s aflame — Where Stalingrad plays her deadly game. [Outro] Тиша після бурі знов, (Silence after storm returns,) Та в повітрі — запах кров. (But in the air, the scent of blood burns.) І в легендах кажуть так: (And in legends they will say:) Сталінград — червоний знак. (Stalingrad — the red-marked way.)
