Let the Thunder of Victory Rumble - National Anthem of the Russian Empire (1791-1796) [RARE VERISON]

"Let the Thunder of Victory Rumble!" was the Russian national anthem in the late 18th and early 19th century.
The lyrics were written by the premier Russian poet of the time, Gavrila Derzhavin, and the music by composer Józef Kozłowski, in 1791. The song was written to commemorate the capture of major Ottoman fortress Izmail by the great Russian general Aleksandr Suvorov. This event effectively ended the Seventh Russo-Turkish War.

Lyrics in English:

Triumph's thunder louder, higher!
Russian pride is running high!
Russia's glory sparkles brighter!
We have humbled Muslim might.

Hail to you for this, oh Catherine!
Gentle mother to us all!

Brilliant Empress, gaze at visions,
And behold, a woman great:
In your thoughts and your decisions
As one soul we all partake.

Triumph's thunder louder, higher!
Russian pride is running high!
Russia's glory sparkles brighter!
We have humbled Muslim might.
