Mankin village


Manka remembers his village
And it rings factory,
Daytime series machines and shelves,
Night blast furnace.

Factory remembers meeting,
Breaks from work,
Someone's affection in the warm evening
On a bench at the gate.

It was near the river,
Where there was always the factory,
It was Manka remembers
In nine fourth year.

Manka remembers his village,
Strike Masters
illegality svetelok
And patrols of the Cossacks.

Remember searches, arrests,
District courtroom,
And the workers protests
And the crowd of bloody salvo.

It was near the river,
Where there was always the factory,
It was Manka remembers
In nine damn years.

Manka remembers his village,
And in the Civil War
Tore a splinter,
Charred wall

Rusted car
And rotten body,
Gunfight at the dam,
Partisan voices.

It was near the river,
Where there was always the factory,
It was Manka remembers
In the nine hundred and twentieth year.

Manka remembers his village,
Red Army Parish,
The Board and the Komsomol,
And to escape the burden plant,

Puffed pipe,
Again fired oven,
Again tender lips,
And it rings factory.

It was near the river,
Where there was always the factory,
It was, is and will
Since then, every year too! 1924
