Steppe, steppe soldiers went into battle.
(Soldiers, steppes, soldiers went into battle.)
Steppe, steppe far clouded.
(Steppe, steppe far clouded.)
Mother, mother stood near the house,
(Mom, Mom stood near the house,)
And around in the smoke the village ...
(And around in the smoke sat ...)
Steps, steppes rang out guns,
(Steppe, steppe unleashed guns,)
Steppe, steppe - the cry of growth ...
(Steppe, steppe - noise increases)
Steppe, steppe fall soldiers,
(Steppe, steppe fall soldiers,)
And rye is rustling around.
(And ears of rye rustle around.)
Steppe, steppe overgrown birches,
Steppe, steppe overgrown birch,
(Steppe, steppe sun spilled ...)
(Steppe, steppe sun spread ...)
Steppe, steppe - obelisks stood,
(Steppe, steppe - obelisks stood up,)
And spilled ears all around.
(And ears spill around ..)
Steppe, steppe - people reap rye,
(Steppe, steppe - people need to harvest rye,)
Steppe, steppe far flutters its wings ...
(Steppe, steppe far away flutters its wings ...)
Mother, mother is waiting for her soldier,
(Mom, mom is waiting for her soldier,)
(And the soldier sleeps an eternal sleep.)
