On the Hills of Manchuria in 1906 .

Scary around,
And the wind is crying on the hills
Sometimes from behind the clouds floats moon
Graves of soldiers lights.

turn white crosses
Distant heroes fine .
And last shadows swirling around,
Repeat to us about the victims in vain.

Amid the darkness everyday ,
Everyday everyday prose ,
Forget still we can not war
And pour bitter tears .

Crying father,
Crying young wife ,
Crying all Russia , as one man,
Doom cursing fate .

So tears run
As the distant waves of the sea,
And my heart tormented longing and sadness
And the great abyss of grief !

heroes body
Long since decayed in their graves ,
And we did not give them the last debt
And eternal memory is not sung .

The peace of your soul !
You died for Russia, for the Fatherland .
But we believe more revenge for you
And right bloody funeral feast !

or :

Quiet around .
Hills covered with haze .
That's because the clouds shone the moon ,
Graves keep quiet.

Turn white crosses -
These are the heroes sleep .
Last shadows circling again
No casualties fighting hard.

Quiet around ,
The wind carried away the fog ,
On the Hills of Manchuria soldiers sleep
And do not hear Russian tears.

Crying , crying mother dear ,
Crying young wife ,
Cry all , as one man,
Ill fate and the fate of cursing .

Let sorghum
You conjures dreams
Sleep , heroes of the Russian land ,
Motherland native sons .

You fell for Russia ,
Died for the Fatherland .
But believe me, we will take revenge for you
And on the right we have a nice funeral feast .
