Do Russian people want the war?
Just ask the silence of Sobibor
Above the wide fields, and the seas
And ask the poplars and birch trees.
You ask those soldiers who were deceased,
Who lie under these old birch trees,
And their sons will say: no more
Do Russian people want
Do Russian people want
Do Russian people want the war?
Not just for their own shore
The soldiers died in bloody war,
But, so the people of the Earth
Could sleep in peace without the wars.
Ask those soldiers, who won the fight,
Who on the Elbe embraced allies.
We keep this memory forevermore,
Do Russian people want
Do Russian people want
Do Russian people want the war?
Yes, vigilant we still remain,
But we don't want, that once again
The soldiers falling in the fight
On their bitter land and died.
You ask the mothers, it's your right,
You ask my own, dear wife,
Then, you won't doubt no more,
Do Russian people want
Do Russian people want
Do Russian people want the war?
