пред тобой
Здесь родилась я и росла
Люблю я реки и леса.

Калужском крае люди жили.
Они всегда бесстрашны были,
Они боролись за свободу
И были преданны народу.

Я благодарна ей за это.
Тут жили многие поэты.
В Калуге Жуков родился,
Её люблю за это я.

В Калуге космос родился.
Здесь жизнь всегда рекой текла.
И я спасибо говорю
За неплохую жизнь мою.

My Town of Kaluga

Kaluga, my native town
I love you and admire my town
My town bore and raised me up
I can’t help loving all around
Your rivers, woods and stars above

And in your region people were
They celebrated you with glory
And so fearless they were
That fought for freedom in great wars

And many poets lived in it
I’m greatly thankful for it
Great Marshal Zhukov was born here
That’s why I feel you mach more near

You are the Mother of all spaceflights
Your life reminds strong river floods
And I say thanks, my home town,
And once again I never lend you down.
