The night before the fight


I am on the night before the fight
I looked in front of him,
Dust road - Ukrainian Way ...
Stands before me
All the expensive,
For what we are fighting in fierce battles.

My favorite city
Amid the ashes and smoke,
In German captivity own family ...
I was sitting sullenly
And I think a thought:
What is left now for me? ..

severe lead
We reached the bride
With high Dnieper native shores:
Under enemy tank
Lies partisan,
Grenade exploded themselves and the enemy ...

Well, what do you say,
To tell you,
After all, everyone tasted what it means war.
Each mountain,
Big as the sea,
And just without boundary, and also without a bottom ...

I can see the ruins
A native of Ukraine,
And reckoning thirst burns me.
I can not breathe
And I can not live,
While not free native land! .. 1942
