Height 776
The mist of illusions fell, Grozny encircled
Warriors of Allah, a thousand warriors
Hastily retreating from the battle for Shatoy
Fighting their way through the mountain ridges
In the path of Khattab stood the Pskov paratroopers
Like a bone stuck in the throat of the bloodthirsty bands
Reinforcements are on the way, bar their way!
Our trap will be sprung, they can't slip away
This is the Pskov detachment, 90 boys
Those who did not fall back, diverted the fire to themselves
This is the pride of the fathers, the memory of the warriors
Who touched the heavens from Height 776
Warriors of Jihad, anticipating success
Broke through the snowy paths
Strewing the ground with dead fighters
Fearsome Wahhabis mown down with lead
Gloom shrouded the mountains, Chechens waiting in the darkness
Where the Sixth Company will not surrender
Fulfilling their duty with honor, leaving their mark
Only six Guardsmen survived at dawn!
This is the Pskov detachment, 90 boys
Those who did not fall back, diverted the fire to themselves
This is the pride of the fathers, the memory of the warriors
Who touched the heavens from Height 776
This is the Pskov detachment, 90 boys
Those who did not fall back, diverted the fire to themselves
This was their first battle, thrust on them by fate
The doomed ones, this is the remembrance of them
This is the Pskov detachment, 90 boys
Those who did not fall back, diverted the fire to themselves
This is the pride of the fathers, the memory of the warriors
Who touched the heavens from Height 776
