By Bulat Okudzhava (both words and music)
1. The birds stop singing here,
The trees stop growing here.
But shoulders together we
Are grown into leas.
The planet's burning
And rotating,
And Motherland is smoked through.
And, that's why, we must win
Beyond expenses.
We need the victory,
And one for all us, true.
We need the victory,
And one for all us, true.
R: We are sentenced to the fire,
But death the power lost.
Aside the doubts - to the night passed
The tenth our landing batallion.
2. And when the fire's gone,
Another order's heard.
A postman will then crazy turn,
When tries to find us all.
The rocket red raises up to heaven,
The mashin gun is shooting, too.
And, that's why, we must win
Beyond expences.
We need the victory,
And one for all us, true.
R.
3. From Kursk and to Orel
(* Kursk and Orel are the names of russian towns,
where were the great battles in the second world war)
The war had lead us all,
Up to the foe's gates we've got,
Such is the now moment.
My brother, one day we'll remember,
And shouldn't believe in this anew...
But now we must win
Beyond expenses.
We need the victory,
And one for all us, true.
We need the victory,
And one for all us, true.
R.
