name that tune?

[Katia Dianina]

[please reply to this query off-line]


Dear list-members,

Perhaps someone can help me attribute the following lines
of poetry?  Since the stanzas are lacking context in the
original source, this will be something like
"Ugadai melodiiu," I'm afraid.

Poem #1:

Ia russkii chelovek
syn svoego naroda
Ia s gordost'iu gliazhu na rodinu svoiu
v godinu bed ona vsegda byvala
edinoi nesgibaemoi stal'noi
Na vstrechu bitvam Rus' moia vstavala
Odnoiu druzhinoiu, groznuiu stenoi


Poem #2

Poshel na bitvu
Istafil Mamedov
Azerbaidzhanets
vnuk bogatyrei


Both were popular during the Second World War.  Bonus points
for helping me punctuate them correctly.  Feel free to reply
off-list.

Many thanks,
David Brandenberger
