Partizan Zhelezniak


In the steppe near Kherson tall grasses,
In the steppe near Kherson mound.
Lies beneath the mound, overgrown with weeds,
Sailor Zhelezniak - guerrillas.

He went to Odessa, he went to Kherson,
The ambushed squad
Left outpost Makhno right
The ten remaining grenades.

"Guys," - he said, referring to the order,
Sailor-partisan Zhelezniak,
"Kherson in front of us, breaking through with bayonets,
And the ten grenades - not a trifle! "
"Kherson in front of us, breaking through with bayonets,
And the ten grenades - not a trifle! "

The boys said - "struck with bayonets,
And the ten grenades - not a trifle! "
Bayonet and grenade broke guys ...
Zhelezniak stayed in the desert.
Bayonet and grenade broke guys ...
Zhelezniak stayed in the desert.

Funny sings Ukraine,
Beautiful blooming youth,
Sunflower is high, and in the sky far
Over the steppe hovering aircraft.

In the steppe near Kherson tall grasses,
In the steppe near Kherson mound.
Lies beneath the mound, overgrown with weeds,
Sailor Zhelezniak - guerrillas.
