Beautiful as birds all in a row Songs fly above the Soviet land. The happy refrain of the cities and fields: "Life's getting better And happier too!"
The country is growing and singing as one, It forges everyone's joy with its songs. Look at the sun--the sun's brighter too! "Life's getting better And happier too!"
There's room everywhere for our minds and our hands, Wherever you go you'll find you have friends. Old age feels warmer, and youth braver still-- "Life's getting better And happier too!"
Know, Voroshilov, we're all standing guard-- We won't give the enemy even a yard. There is a saying for folks old and young: "Life's getting better And happier too!"
Let's let the whole gigantic country Shout to Stalin: "Thank you, our man, Live long, prosper, never fall ill!" "Life's getting better And happier too!“
