Leningrad song


                       I
Wherever I have been abandoned by the war,
Among black and smoky fields
All I fancied garden in the moonlight
And at the seaside whistles ships.

Chorus:
There in the evening quietly splashing
Neva wave!
Leningrad, my! dear brother of mine!
My motherland!
                        II
I know, I know - thundering cannonade
Where we were with you.
Under the Nazi shells breaks our youth came to you.

Chorus.
                        III
But powerless, and death, and the blockade,
And he shall pass like a song, once again,
Evening gardens of Leningrad
Restless our love!
