Candlemas birthday. Part 2 The third Russian toast

Дмитрий Сергеев Василёв
Author  translation of «Birthday. The third toast»

Let’s remember gone heroes!
They fought for life for us.
I will drink with friends and mirror...
Day for it is Candlemas!

For the sailor, lost in depth,
Tankist, met his blazing death,
Pilot, had not time midair,
Soldier, lying nonamed.
May be, it’s Ivan?
Guys, tooked  by Afghan...

Lights for souls are forever!
To be free amoung far stars!
River* has one bank! Two never.
Finally let’s drink! And rise!

*Try to make no mistake naming the river.
