Do Russians want the state of civil war?
Recall a state of huge mourning after all
The silence soars over tilths and fields
And at the poplars and birch trees
2
Just shall you ask those veterans
Those fallen now lying under trees
And their sons would say to you -
Whether the Russians
Whether the Russians
Want war!
3
Not only for its own lands
They got all killed because of war
Being sure that all people in the world
Will not see war nightmares, Lord!
4
Just shall you ask those veterans
Who gave you hugs at Elbe meet, -
The allegiance to the memory we keep
Whether the Russians
Whether the Russians
Want war!
5
Yes, we're successful in the fight
But we hate see the repetition light
Soldiers were down due the combats
Embraced bitter lands forevermore
6
Just shall you ask your mothers' view
At least just ask my wife's review
This way you should've understand
Whether the Russians
Whether the Russians
Want war!
7
He'll understand: a docker, fisherman
The day laborer, businessman
That shall be understood by any folk
Whether the Russians
Whether the Russians
Want war!
