Original Lyrics

Делом и словом Россия воскреснет,

С лидером новым, достойным и честным,

С партией сильной, врагам неугодной,

На благо Отчизны, для жизни свободной.

Терпенью народа приходит предел —

Мы выбираем ЛДПР.

Это наш путь возрожденья России,

С партией твёрдой, разумной, единой.

Хватит народу стоять на коленях,

И хоронить сыновей своих верных.

Бесчинство долой и долой беспредел —

Поможет России ЛДПР.

Это наш путь возрожденья России,

С партией твёрдой, разумной, единой.

Терпенью народа приходит предел —

Мы выбираем ЛДПР.

Мы выбираем Л Д П Р.

Free-style translation

With deed and with word will Russia revive,

With a new leader, who's worthy and honest,

With a strong party that the enemies are afraids of,

For the good of the homeland and for the free living.

There is an end for every suffer —

So now we choose LDPR.
