Сестра [Sestra] [English translation]

Night will tear the aching threads

I don't think I will live till morning

I'm begging you, please write,

Please write a few words, Nurse

Write to the little boy named Vova

That I'm sending him all the kisses

And that I'm saving an Austrian helmet from Lviv

To give to him as a present

Write to my poor wife

Write at least a few words to her

That I was wounded non-lethally in my arm

That I'm getting better and will be healthy soon

And write to my father separately

That my entire valiant regiment perished

That I was mortally wounded, shot through the chest

While carrying out my military duty

I'm begging you, please write,

Please write a few words, Nurse

I'm begging you, please write,

Please write a few words, Nurse
