[3] Неба утреннего стяг, В жизни важен первый шаг.
Нам, ребята, в этой жизни, Только с правдой по пути.
С нами юность всей планеты — Наш всемирный стройотряд!
Припев Neba utrennego stjag, V žizni važen pervyj šag.
Nam, rebjata, v etoj žizni, Toljko s pravdoj po puti.
The news is flying to all the world's ends: Believe us, fathers, – There will be new victories, New warriors will rise.
