Звенит в ушах лихая музыка атаки… Точней отдай на клюшку пас, сильней ударь! И всё в порядке, если только на площадке Великолепная пятёрка и вратарь! Припев: Суровый бой ведёт ледовая дружина: Мы верим мужеству отчаянных парней. В хоккей играют настоящие мужчины, Трус не играет в хоккей! Пусть за воротами противника всё чаще Победной молнией пульсирует фонарь! Но если надо, защищается блестяще Великолепная пятёрка и вратарь! Припев Красивых матчей будет сыграно немало, И не забудем, не забудем мы, как встарь, В сраженьях золото и кубки добывала Великолепная пятёрка и вратарь! Припев |
The ears ring with the bold music of an attack... Make an accurate pass, shoot hard! And everything is right, if on the ice is The Magnificent Five and a Goalkeeper! Chorus: The ice brotherhood combats hard And we trust in courage of desperate guys Real men play hockey, No coward plays hockey! Let the place behind the rival's net to be more frequently Illuminated by red lamp's victorious flash! But if there's a need, defends brilliantly The Magnificent Five and a Goalkeeper! Chorus Many beautiful games would be seen And we won't forget, we'll never forget as long ago Gold and cups have been won at ice battles by The Magnificent Five and a Goalkeeper! Chorus |
