U menta i zheny-to net
I kakaya esche zhena u menta
Esli ot rodu dvadtsat' let
I voobsche-to krugom - vojna
On i vyros na toj vojne
I prishla emu mast' ne ta.
Oh, ne ta
I dostala ego v rodnoj strane
Pulya-dura
A on materi tak pisal:
Ty zhe znaesh' pro vse sama,
Mama.
Skol'ko raz ty menya beregla...
Do svidaniya, mama
I upal on zamesto nas
Bylo mal'chiku dvadtsat' let
Eh, sud'ba
Ne slozhilas' na etot raz
On promedlil,
A snajper - net
Byl patsan - i net patsana
A zhit' by emu do sta
I shapki - doloj
I vodku - do dna,
Kogda horonyat menta.
Vstat', kogda horonyat bojtsa!
The cop doesn't even have a wife.
And why would the cop need a wife at all
if he's only 20 years old.
And there is a war all around.
He's grown up during that war.
And he got (a card of) the wrong suit
Oh, a wrong one.
And she got him in his motherland
The foolish bullet
And he wrote to his mother:
You so know about all,
Mom.
How many times you protected me...
Good-bye, mom
and he has fallen in place of us there
Was boy of twenty years
Alas, the destiny
has not happened this time
He delayed,
And the sniper did not
(There) was a boy - then (there) was no boy
And he would have lived to a hundred
And cap - off with
And vodka - to the bottom
When burying a cop.
Rise, when burying a fighter!
