The Ballad of trumpeters Pipes, tubes! Sounded at the beginning of the alarm Pipes, tubes! Red Cossacks knew the path-way Steeds to saddle The edge of the Soviets to defend A! A! A! A! The edge of the Soviets to defend A! A! A! A! The edge of the Soviets to defend The sun, the sun! It shone above the ground as a banner The sun, the sun! It flew across the steppes with the Cossacks It's no wonder it in the night woke trumpeters A! A! A! A! woke trumpeters A! A! A! A! Our sun, our sun woke trumpeters Pipes, tubes! The forty-five singing you win Pipes, tubes! You have saved for fathers, our grandfathers And fathers to sons, preserved to our days A! A! A! A! Preserved to our days Steppe, steppe! Do not forget you're a bloody flight! It will be necessary - we can protect our glory! The banner of their country, the glory of true trumpet! A! A! A! A! Glory true trumpet! Our banner, our glory Glory true trumpet! 1960
