Ballad of a Soldier


Field along the steep coast
past huts
The gray greatcoat ordinary
soldiers went
Soldiers went not knowing barriers
Went soldiers losing friends
It often happened, went without a halt
I went ahead of soldiers

He walked at night storm
The rain and hail
Song with your friends forontovymi
sang soldiers
Soldiers sang swallowing tears
He sang about Russian birch
About kari eyes
About his house his father
Soldiers sang in the way

As if rooted to the shoulder Soldier Machine
Throughout their sworn enemies
Beal soldiers
Soldiers beat them at Smolensk
Beat soldiers in the village of N-sk
Not counting the bullets
Eyes without closing
Beat the enemy soldiers

Field along the steep coast
past huts
The gray greatcoat ordinary
soldiers went
Soldiers went homeland servant
Shel-soldiers in the name of life
earth saving
defending world
I went ahead of soldiers.
