Borodino


Tell me, uncle, for good reason
Moscow, scorched by fire,
Frenchman given?
Well in fact there were fights fighting,
Yes, say what!
No wonder all Russia remembers
About the day of Borodino!

We have long departed in silence,
I was annoyed battlefield waiting
Grumbling old men:
"What are we? winter quarters?
They dare not, perhaps, the commanders
Aliens tear uniforms
About Russian bayonets? "

And then we found a large field:
There roam where the wild!
They built a redoubt.
Our ears open!
A little morning lit up the gun
And the forests blue top -
The French are right there.

I scored the charge in the gun tight
And I thought: I'll buy another!
Wait a minute, brother musyu:
What is there to cheat, perhaps for a fight;
Oh, we'll go to ache wall,
Oh, we'll stand head
For your home!

And he said, flashing in the eyes:
"Guys! not eh Moscow for us?
Umremte train near Moscow,
As our brothers die! "
And we promised to die,
And kept the oath of allegiance
We are in the Borodino battle!
And kept the oath of allegiance
We are in the Borodino battle! 1944
