Composer Sergey Fyodorovich Kaydan-Dyoshkin Released 1922-??-?? Title Origin Translation

Run Up Like Bonfires, Blue Nights (Взвейтесь кострами, синие ночи) is a Soviet pioneers march.

Aleksandr Zharov was commissioned to write the lyrics to the song in two weeks by Nadezhda Krupskaya's suggestion. While looking for an inspiration, Zharov listened to Charles Gounod's Choeur des soldats during Faust opera and based his song on it. Sergey Kaydan-Dyoshkin gave the music a different tone and adapted it for bugle instrument.

Lyrics

Russian Взвейтесь кострами, синие ночи! Мы, пионеры, — дети рабочих. Близится время светлых годов. Клич пионера: «Всегда будь готов!». Радостным шагом, c песней весёлой Мы выступаем за Комсомолом. Близится время светлых годов. Клич пионера: «Всегда будь готов!» Мы поднимаем Красное Знамя, Дети рабочих смело за нами. Близится время светлых годов. Клич пионера: «Всегда будь готов!» Взвейтесь кострами, синие ночи! Мы, пионеры, — дети рабочих. Близится время светлых годов. Клич пионера: «Всегда будь готов!» Клич пионера: «Всегда будь готов!»

Joyfully taking steps, singing a happy song, We are following the Komsomol. The era of bright years is soon. Our motto is "always be ready!". We are raising the Red Flag, The workers' children bravely join us. The era of bright years is soon. Our motto is "always be ready!". Run up like bonfires, blue nights!
