scythe


On the road dust that fell down the slope
It was a broad trot our valiant squadron,
See the road a girl beauty, wonder scythe sea eyes
Smiled a smile easy, we waved.

And then said with a smile, our captain -
Oglyanitets, behind only dust and fog,
And because there was a girl beauty, wonder scythe sea eyes.
Saw that the hero on a horse, and smiled at me.

They all looked where the captain revealed.
Suddenly, with a merry laugh, our lieutenant said:
I am very glad that the girl beauty, wonder scythe sea eyes.
Saw that the eagle on the horse, and smiled at me.

All skipped, all laughed, I said nothing.
I went quiet, riding proud, riding and knew
I knew from the faithful, that the beauty of the girl, the miracle of the braid, the sea eyes.
Saw that a Cossack on horseback, and smiled at me.

On the road dust that fell down the slope
Leaving a broad trot our valiant squadron,
And in the distance remained the girl beauty, wonder scythe sea eyes
Smiled at us smile simple, all waving rukoy.1944
