RUSSIAN SOLDIERS
Photos of the war years ,
Front forties storm
And unbidden tear runs -
Oh, how I was young , my grandfather ...
Spanish sky,
Mongolian sky,
German sky -
Wherever you were not ...
We lived carelessly ,
Awards did not ask ,
Gone to eternity
Russian soldiers .
Afgan wind blows over evil ,
Fresh krovushkoy sand watered ,
With the machine on the armor worth
My father, who was once young .
She was beaten by bullets - not to raise a person
And ruthlessly mowed lead,
And with a smiling picture
My once a young father .
Korean sky,
Vietnamese sky,
Afghan skies -
Wherever you were not ...
We lived carelessly ,
Awards did not ask ,
Gone to eternity
Russian soldiers .
We , who have not seen Berlin on fire
Mourners last century ,
Became familiar Christmas snow
On the graves of young guys .
New pain sprouted Chechnya
Our peers - the fire and hell ,
Not returned from the war, my brother
From looking at the photos of me.
Dnistrovske sky,
Tajik sky,
Chechen sky -
Wherever you were not ...
We lived carelessly ,
Awards did not ask ,
Gone to eternity
Russian soldiers ...
