To the tune of [Polushka Polye], lyrics by David Holley

A wake song, can be sung straight or as a round.

Here’s to Varushka, mighty bold Varushka Iron of the Empire from your birth Iron of the Empire from your birth

Here’s to Varushka, bitter cold Varushka Give our fallen cousins to the earth Give our fallen cousins to the earth

Here’s to Varushka, steadfast old Varushka Virtue see your soul to swift rebirth Virtue see your soul to swift rebirth
