On the mountain, on the hill there is a bell tower,
|
And from it a machine gun hits the field,
|
And lies on the field with boots to the sun
|
With such a mother, our heroic platoon.
|
We paw the earth with smoked fingers,
|
Bullets, like sparrows, splash in the dust...
|
Dmitry Gorokhov and Sergeant Mokhov
|
These sparrows took and found.
|
Then the elder Krupennikov says to me thinly,
|
So that I take the death for an honest people,
|
To choke on the bell with blood
|
Rastakoy-razetakiy this cat of a bitch.
|
I firmly attached the bayonet to my rifle,
|
An old revolver was tucked into his boot.
|
"Glory" of the third degree and a brave medal
|
On the left, he put the sides deep in his pocket.
|
They gave me a cracker, they threw me a chinarik
|
The elder Krupennikov gave me a flask.
|
I tried it, I remembered my mother
|
Yes, he quickly ran across the flat field.
|
And on the bell, the cat of a bitch got nervous,
|
He began to heal me, to be sure.
|
Yes, you see, a speck - a small grain of sand -
|
In the eye hit a fierce - hand twitched.
|
I dropped my rifle and fell behind a pebble,
|
To think the enemy, as if hooked.
|
Yes, he, you see, was shot - he didn’t believe me right away
|
And he planted a stone-pebble for a long time.
|
Yes, apparently, it was not fate for me to try bullets ...
|
The eldest Krupennikov himself stood up as if at a parade.
|
Immediately from the bell, chirping merrily,
|
Little birds flew into the chest, threw them back.
|
Little hills, bell towers...
|
What is assigned to whom? |
Whose turn is it now?
|
The wound is not healed, the memory is not killed -
|
The sun, yes, the field, and the heroic platoon .. |
