performance by DPRK or North Korea 🇰🇵 in Pyongyang during 🇷🇺 president Putin's visit in June 2024.
Many soviet union songs were performed, including this song, С чего начинается Родина? "Where does the Motherland begin?"
Mikhail Matusovsky wrote the lyrics and Veniamin Basner composed the music.
English Translation:
Where does the Motherland begin?
It begins with a picture in your primer,
It begins with good and faithful comrades
Living in the neighboring yard.
Or maybe it begins
With the song that our mother sang to us,
With the fact that in any challenges
No one can take away from us.
Where does the Motherland begin...
It begins with the cherished bench at the gate,
It begins with the same birch that grows
In the field, bending under the wind.
Or maybe it begins
With the spring song of the starling
And with this country road,
Which has no end in sight.
Where does the Motherland begin...
It begins with windows glowing in the distance,
It begins with an old father's budenovka,
Which we found somewhere in the closet.
Or maybe it begins
With the sound of wagon wheels,
And with the oath that you took to her
In your heart in your youth.
