Капитан Колесников [Kapitan Kolesnikov] [English translation]

Who can say us about death some truth words?

It's pity that killed sailors didn't have black boxes

It's cold, it's dark, pencil breaks

Captain Kolesnikov writes a letter to us

There are a few of us at the cold bottom

Two compartment are blowed up, three compartment burns

I know there isn't safety but if you believe you should wait

You will find my letter on your chest

Kursk moved into a grave, stopped 1

It cut ropes for parting

It's cloudy on the seaside, mews fly, ships go

The submarine fell asleep on the ground, but ground is so far away

They will lie a lot of it

Will the commission tell us how it's hard to die,

who is our peer, who's hero, who's coward?

Captain Kolesnikov writes a letter to us
