Supposedly affected by the latest victories of Russian sport, as well as looking forward to Euro 2008, Russia’s State Duma speaker Boris Gryzlov has written a team song for the country’s football squad. Check the poetic gift of the top official…
(translated from Russian)
We’re out on the pitch
Our aim is last-ditch
To put the ball in the net.
We will go ahead
As our goal is set
With passion we sweat.
Our team has just hours
To play in the Finals
Both Euro and World Cup alike.
But long preparations
We need to make
With our honour being at stake.
Whoever may say
‘There’s nothing to loose’
And football is just a game,
Must see that it’s never the same
When a whole country came
And put its faith in you.
Go Russia!
Our time has come!
Go Russia!
The victory awaits!
