Comrades,
this is a jazz version of the last Soviet Anthem. There's some alternate lyrics at the end
http://bit.ly/rnfYrq
Can anyone of you native Russian speakers write the alternate lyrics here in original, please?

This is a mockery of the Soviet Anthem made in 1991.
The lyrics are the standard 1977 USSR Anthem ones,but the alternate "lyrics at the end" are the last two verses of the older 1944 version of the Anthem which were,for some reason,added in addition to the original lyrics:

Знамя советское, знамя народное
Пусть от победы к победе ведёт!


Znamja sovetskoe, znamja narodnoe
Pust' ot pobedy k pobede vedёt!

My translation(not 100% correct):
Soviet Banner,Banner of the People
Let it lead (us) from victory to victory!

Thank you, comrade. I know it's a mockery, but I like it nevertheless. I did not know this was just the last verse of the 1944 anthem. I find the video very inspiring as well - I particularly like the Misha sequence (from the 1980 Olympics) because I remember it from those days.
