Девятый вал [Devyatyj val] [English translation]

There was a day, clear day,

The sky was blue,

And nobody knew:

This day a war raged

In the whole world

As the ninth wave.

There was a fight, and another fight,

The city's been turned to ash,

And the enemy's been defeated.

One million warriors, the young heroes

All together have ascended to Heaven

With a song on their lips.

There was a day, and the peace has come,

The war came to its end,

And nobody knew:

For the hundredth time a war raged

In the whole world

As the ninth wave.
