also i don't know the anthem and i don't feel bad about it.
the original tune was better.
To Anacreon, in Heav'n, where he sat in full glee, A few sons of harmony sent a petition, That he their inspirer and patron would be; When this answer arrived from the jolly old Grecian -- Voice, fiddle and flute, No longer be mute. I'll lend ye my name, and inspire ye to boot... And, besides, I'll instruct ye, like me, to entwine, The myrtle of Venus with Bacchus's vine.
The news through Olympus immediately flew; Where Old Thunder pretended to give himself airs -- If these mortals are suffer'd their scheme to pursue, There's devil a goddess will stay above stairs. Hark! already they cry, In transports of joy. A fig for Parnassus! to Rowley's we'll fly; And there, my good fellows, we'll learn to entwine, The myrtle of Venus with Bacchus's vine.
The yellow-hair'd god, and his nine fusty maids, To the hill of old Lud will incontinent flee. Idalia will boast but of tenantless shades, And the biforked hill a mere desert will be. My thunder, no fear on't, Will soon do its errand, And dam'me! I'll swinge the ringleaders, I warrant. I'll trim the young dogs, for thus daring to twine, The myrtle of Venus with Bacchus's vine.
Apollo rose up; and said, Pr'ythee ne'er quarrel, Good king of the gods, with my vot'ries below! Your thunder is useless -- then, shewing his laurel, Cry'd, _Sic evitabile fulmen_, you know! Then over each head My laurels I'll spread; So my sons from your crackers no mischief shall dread, Whilst snug in their club-room, they jovially twine, The myrtle of Venus with Bacchus's vine.
Next Momus got up, with his risible phiz; And swore with Apollo he'd cheerfully join -- The full tide of harmony still shall be his, But the song, and the catch, and the laugh shall be mine; Then, Jove, be not jealous Of these honest fellows. Cry'd Jove, We relent, since the truth you now tell us; And swear, by Old Styx, that they long shall entwine, The myrtle of Venus with Bacchus's vine.
Ye sons of Anacreon, then, join hand in hand; Preserve unanimity, friends and love. 'Tis your's to support what's so happily plan'd; You've the sanction of gods, and the fiat of Jove. While thus we agree, Our toast let it be. May our club flourish happy, united and free! And long may the sons of Anacreon entwine, The myrtle of Venus with Bacchus's vine.
Unbreakable Union of freeborn Republics, Great Russia has welded forever to stand. Created in struggle by will of the people, United and mighty, our Soviet land!
Sing to the Motherland, home of the free, Bulwark of peoples in brotherhood strong. O Party of Lenin, the strength of the people, To Communism's triumph lead us on!
Through tempests the sunrays of freedom have cheered us, Along the new path where great Lenin did lead. To a righteous cause he raised up the peoples, Inspired them to labour and valourous deed.
Sing to the Motherland, home of the free, Bulwark of peoples in brotherhood strong. O Party of Lenin, the strength of the people, To Communism's triumph lead us on!
In the victory of Communism's immortal ideal, We see the future of our dear land. And to her fluttering scarlet banner, Selflessly true we always shall stand!
Sing to the Motherland, home of the free, Bulwark of peoples in brotherhood strong. O Party of Lenin, the strength of the people, To Communism's triumph lead us on!

The fact that those rhyme in english should raise a red flag.
An unbreakable union of free republics, Great Rus' has united forever! Long live the created-by-the-will-of-the-peoples, The united, the mighty Soviet Union.
Glory to the Fatherland, united and free! The stronghold of the friendship of the peoples! The Party of Lenin, power of the people, It leads us to the triumph of Communism.
Through tempests the sun of freedom shone to us, And the great Lenin lighted us the way. He raised peoples to the righteous cause, Inspired us to labour and to acts of heroism.
Glory to the Fatherland, united and free! The stronghold of the friendship of the peoples! The Party of Lenin, power of the people, It leads us to the triumph of Communism.
In the victory of the immortal ideas of Communism We see the future of our country, And to the Red banner of our glorious Fatherland We shall always be selflessly true.
