I want to go to the farm where the graves of my ancestors are.
|
There, a willow weeps over the river, lowering its branches.
|
And the native forest-steppe coos like a dove.
|
Great-grandfather led the horses, raising the whip.
|
I remember my father and I came, he was still alive.
|
In the war for seven years, then harvesting the fields.
|
His father, George, had a dignity across the river.
|
They chopped at the points, thank God, he himself survived.
|
The People's Commissar is tagging along in the hut.
|
He ordered to remove the icons - flew to hell.
|
Grandfather's authority, Rosselmash combine,
|
Then even crests were like ours.
|
Now everything is different, adversaries.
|
Ancient Cossack lands are being sold to NATO.
|
On Sundays in Batey we go to the temple.
|
It's getting dark at the dacha, we raise one hundred grams.
|
Chorus:
|
Dad, get the button accordion, the soul sings.
|
Come on for these fields and the Cossack family,
|
For a difficult fate and a difficult life.
|
Come on father, come on hold on.
|
On this farm, my father bred pigeons,
|
I counted the stars in the sky in the depths of the nights.
|
And a grandmother from the temple with happy eyes.
|
When the patronal feast, candles under the images.
|
Worked in the fields at the crossroads of days,
|
Many warriors did not wait for sons.
|
The garden blossoms, the nightingale sings,
|
They removed the bread, raised the right children.
|
I fall down from the mound, the smell of grass,
|
And I fly like a falcon across the endless steppe.
|
I want my son to remember that he is a Cossack
|
And he did not change his will for money slag.
|
To remember his ancestors, he tried to match them.
|
You don't have to crawl if you were born to fly.
|
They did more for us than they could,
|
They are praying for us, somewhere outside the earth.
|
Chorus:
|
Dad, get the button accordion, the soul sings.
|
Come on for these fields and the Cossack family,
|
For a difficult fate and a difficult life.
|
Come on father, come on hold on. |
