My computer doesn't have russian fonts / cyrillic keyboard and I need to identify an internet site where I can find lyrics of russian songs. I listen to russian music in the car and its difficult to understand ALL the words (i'm english). I can read cyrillic / some russian and speak russian.

Firstly, I need lyrics for some of Alexander Malinin's songs, but if I knew a few russian websites, I could find a whole lot more for myself.

Thanks for any assistance.

Anthem of the USSR

Music: A. Alexandrov Lyrics: S. Mikhalkov and El- Registane

Союз нерушимый республик свободных
Сплотила навеки Великая Русь.
Да здравствует созданный волей народов
Единый, могучий Советский Союз!

Славься, Отечество наше свободное,
Дружбы, народов надежный оплот!
Знамя советское, знамя народное
Пусть от победы, к победе ведет!

Сквозь грозы сияло нам солнце свободы,
И Ленин великий нам путь озарил.
Нас вырастил Сталин - на верность народу
На труд и на подвиги нас вдохновил.

Славься, Отечество чаше свободное,
Счастья народов надежный оплот!
Знамя советское, знамя народное
Пусть от победы к победе ведет!

Мы. армию нашу растили в сраженьях,
Захватчиков подлых с дороги сметем!
Мы в битвах решаем судьбу поколений,
Мы к славе Отчизну свою поведем!

Славься, Отечество наше свободное,
Славы народов надежный оплот!
Знамя советское, знамя народное
Пусть от победы к победе ведет!

http://www.waytorussia.net/TalkLounge/viewtopic.php?t=2585 describes cyrillic keyboard / fonts installation. it should not be hard at all to do this.

Thanks for the posts, people.
Cheburashka - Ha Ha Ha! Though one side of my family has roots in the 'party' / 'fsb' its not really my 'cup of tea'.
I actually had some success last night by altering the spelling of certain words...

Alexander Malinin ... didn't produce anything useful

but

Aleksandr Malinin ... did.

Got hold of the lyrics to 'Paruchik Golitsin', a rather sad but emotive song. Malinin's recording of it is imho exceptional. Finally managed to understand the bits of it which had been giving me trouble.

Will try the cyrillic stuff later.

Cheers

Well.. it's not too hard, you'll probably manage by yourself. but if you need any help with the cyrillic keyboard just pm me.
