We do not need to feel sorry, because we would not feel sorry for anyone either.
|
We are clean before our battalion commander, as before the Lord God.
|
Overcoats turned red from the blood and clay on the living,
|
Blue flowers bloomed on the graves of the dead.
|
Blossomed and fell... The fourth autumn is passing by.
|
Our mothers are crying, our peers are silently sad.
|
We did not know love, we did not experience the happiness of crafts,
|
We have suffered the hard fate of soldiers.
|
At my weather: no poetry, no love, no peace -
|
Only strength and envy. |
And when we return from the war -
|
Let's love everything in full and write, peer, this:
|
That sons will be proud of their fathers-soldiers.
|
Who will return - will love? |
Not! |
The heart is not enough for this
|
And the dead do not need the living to love for them.
|
There is no man in the family - no children, no owner in the hut.
|
Can the sobs of the living help such grief?
|
Well, who won't come back? |
Who will not have to please?
|
Well, who was struck down by the first bullet in 1941?
|
A peer of the same age will sob, a mother will beat on the threshold, -
|
At my weather: no poetry, no peace, no wives.
|
We do not need to feel sorry, because we would not feel sorry for anyone either.
|
Who went on the attack, who shared the last piece.
|
He will understand this truth, it is to us in the trenches and cracks.
|
She came to argue with a grouchy, hoarse basque.
|
Let the living remember, and let generations know:
|
This harsh truth of the soldiers, taken with battle.
|
And your crutches, and a mortal wound through.
|
And graves over the Volga, where thousands of young people lie.
|
This is our destiny, it was with her that we cursed and sang;
|
They went on the attack and tore the bridges over the Bug.
|
And when we return - and we return with victory,
|
Everyone, like the devil, is stubborn, like people, tenacious and evil, -
|
Let us brew beer and roast meat for dinner,
|
So that tables break everywhere on oak legs.
|
We will bow at the feet of our dear, suffering people.
|
Let's kiss mothers and girlfriends who waited, loving.
|
That's when we will return and win with bayonets.
|
We will love everything, the same age, and we will find a job for ourselves.
|
This is our destiny, it was with her that we swore and sang.
|
They went on the attack and tore the bridges over the beech.
|
We do not need to feel sorry, because we would not feel sorry for anyone,
|
We are clean before our Russia and in difficult times.
